Strengthening the agency of Refugee Youth

Refugee youth are often denied basic human rights and essential services due to structural financial, legal, and societal constraints. Social workers play a crucial role in supporting refugee youth in this context. This research investigates how international social workers can build alliances with refugee youth so they can navigate these structural constraints.
