"Open door, date window": national guarantees for the refuge and its contrast with the reports of syrian refugees in São Paulo, Brazil

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the legal advances presented by Brazil in relation to the refuge subject, contrasting them with the reports and difficulties faced by those who arrive here and are covered by such themes. The observation of these oppositions aims to respond to the necessary examination of the extent to which legal advances meet the financial, social and emotional demands of individuals who flee from adverse realities in a pursuit of a new environment in which they can feel inserted, continuing their lives. In this case, three Syrian refugees established in the State of São Paulo since 2014 have been accompanied and interviewed. Based on their reports, we make points for reflection on improvements regarding the reception and adaptation processes of these and other cases to a country and to a very different culture from which they originated. Following this, the records exposed here and the considerations established by the authors intend to contribute to debates committed to filling gaps and resolving issues present in a topic that deserves greater prominence, both in academic circles and in the scope of Public Policies.
