  • Kosovo, a child playing outside his home.

  • Vera, Kosovo refugee in her temporary accomodation in East London. The majority of refugees that arrive in the Uk are offered provisional housing, vouchers to buy food and are not allowed to seek employment.  This situation supposed to be temporary often takes years to settle, so many like Vera even after 5 years still do not know whether they have their right to stay permanently. Many  see themselves as living in a limbo, unable to look for work and to move freely.  Often the bond between the community of refugees is strong supported by the need to keep some of their culture and costumes alive.

  • The majority of refugees that arrive in the Uk are offered provisional housing, vouchers to buy food and are not allowed to seek employment.  This situation meant to be temporary often takes years to settle.  Many kosovan families even after years do not know whether they have their right to stay permanently in the UK.  Refugees see themselves as living in a limbo, unable to look for work and to move freely.  Often the bond between their community is the only attachment that they form, partly because of their common plight and partly because of a need to ascertain their cultural identity.

  • B. S. was attacked by a group of people belonging to the far right party called Golden Dawn whilst he was disembarking a bus in central Athens. He was left for dead on the pavement before the police was called six hours later. The police station was 2 minutes away. I met B.S. whilst receiving treatment from an NGO in Athens for anxiety and stress disorder. His well-being has been negatively affected following the atrocious attack. It happened one evening around 9pm while B. was descending from a bus. He had been all day at a hospital because his child was ill and had just taken relief from his wife who remained behind with their child. Suddenly, as he was leaving the bus he heard people behind him shouting 'Malaka...' and immediately after someone started to slap him. He asked 'Why?' but they carried on attacking him. This time throwing him back and forth like a football ball. Then a knife was taken out and he was knifed. He collapsed. When he woke up he was in a hospital. He asked who brought him there? Someone answered the police. He cried.
