- Authors
Valcárcel Silvela, Amaya
- Abstract
The purpose of this document is to explain the doctrine of the refugees on the protection from a perspective of catholic social thought and to offer a comparative analysis of how the different initiatives, inspired in the Christian values, have answered to the challenges and opportunities that the refugees bring. Lastly, it will present some suggestions on the best ways of going forward. The present study will compare some of these initiatives in the whole of Europe, focusing particularly on several European countries, such as Portugal, France, Spain, Belgium, and Italy. This study endeavors to give an answer through the lens of those who have been lodged as displaced persons by the force and of the ones that have welcome them, likewise from the perspective of those who unify the communities and jointly advocate on behalf of the forced migrants.
