A six parts podcast series that explores how refugees experience their „vulnerabilities“ when seeking asylum. In this podcast we want to focus on the individual experiences and feelings, that constitute the „vulnerability“ of refugees and that are often overlooked. - We bring together scientific field work AND the stories of refugees. We wanted to know: How does vulnerability show at the different stages of the migration process? To answer this question we talked to three people from three different countries: You will meet Jameela, who is a refugee from Afghanistan and currently in an accommodation centre in Belgium. Gabriel, who has a refugee history himself and is now working with refugees in Uganda. And we talked to Fatima, a humanitarian worker in the MENA region with Basmeh and Zeitooneh – one of the areas of concentration is Lebanon. This podcast is a part of the VULNER project, a research project that aims to understand the vulnerabilities faced by migrants, to enable decision-makers to better identify positions of vulnerabilities and address them...

Episode 6: Capital
In this part we talk about capital in general. Money is certainly an important type of capital - but not the only one. In general, capital can be described as anything a person or entity is able to „spend“ or use when competing with others on any market.
Episode 5: Health
Having to worry about health is a constant source of stress and a source of vulnerability in the truest sense of the word. We want to explore how health - physical and mental health - has an impact on the lives of asylum seekers.
Episode 4: Gender
Gender - next to other factors, such as health or age - plays a central role at different levels, when vulnerabilities are being assessed in reception centers and by social workers. We talked about it with Fatima, Gabriel and Jameela.
Episode 3: Food
When it comes to making a strange place your home, food plays a central role. It makes it possible to incorporate small rituals from the previous life into the new life. But food can also be a part of our daily struggles and sorrows.
Episode 2: Family
Family plays a very important role in terms of feeling secure or even happy. To many people it is the primary place where they feel attachment, nurturance and love. In building new connections and relationships, many refugees can develop new resilience.
Episode 1: Home
Home has a different meaning for everyone and we will talk to Fatima, Gabriel and Jameela about their home or homes and their stories of vulnerability in connection with feeling or not feeling at home, missing home or making a strange place their home.
