After Return: documenting the experiences of young people forcibly removed to Afghanistan
RESEARCH LAUNCH
2,018 young men who spent their formative teenage years in the UK care system have been sent back to Afghanistan over the past 9 years, often to very precarious and dangerous situations.
Since March 2014, RSN has been systematically monitoring what happens to former child asylum seekers who have been forcibly removed to Afghanistan after turning 18.
After Return documents their experiences and, for the first time, fills a vital evidence gap in their education, employment, health and wellbeing outcomes.
After Return will launch on Tuesday 5th April at the Institute of Education. 5.45pm (for 6pm start) to 7pm, followed by drinks.
The event will be chaired by Elaine Chase at UCL Institute of Education, an advisory group member for the project and Principal Investigator on a related ESRC-funded project 'Becoming Adult'. Other speakers include an Afghan former child asylum seeker and RSN's Kabul-based Monitoring Officer. Tickets are free but must be booked here in advance.
