ECONOMIC & SOCIAL DISADVANTAGES
Economic and social disadvantages affect the livelihoods, stability, and opportunities of victims, creating barriers to long-term security and growth.
Below are the primary challenges under this category faced by the Coalition of Sudanese Victim Communities in the USA.
Economic and Social Disadvantages
Unemployment, Underemployment, and Economic Hardship
Many victims face barriers to employment due to trauma, language, credential recognition, or education gaps.
Poverty and Financial Insecurity
Displacement often results in economic hardship, with limited access to public benefits or assistance.
Lack of Education and Skills Development
Interrupted schooling due to displacement and conflict affects both youth and adults, limiting future opportunities.
