Why is it important?
The paper provides in-depth insights about realities as seen and experienced by asylum seeking young people. It thereby contributes to the literature on migration by focusing on what young people think and feel as they seek asylum in foreign lands.
Perspectives
I believe that this paper is important to me since it shows the 'human' side of migration, the fears, the hopes, the dreads, the aspirations, the troubles and the relief that young people experience when leaving the security of their home lands to travel to other lands that could offer them possible better futures, but in order to reach them, they need to risk their lives.
