Seeking Refuge – Stories from asylum seekers in Hong Kong
A new community blog, launched in June 2010, highlights the voices of asylum seekers in Hong Kong.
“Seeking Refuge” is a community website where asylum seekers in Hong Kong can make their voices heard. All of the posts on Seeking Refuge are written by asylum seekers themselves. It is also a place where the general public can learn first-hand about the experiences and lives of asylum seekers residing in Hong Kong.
There are some 7,000 recognized asylum seekers in Hong Kong, mostly from South Asia or Africa. This website allows them to tell their stories.

Well thats the issue i think, their country is not doing much to help resolve their problems. Well i do belive that migration is a need when you are facing persecution and life endangering situations. As for the issue of migrating to other countries like Australia and so forth – this is a very difficult endeavor. Australia and other such developing countries are reluctant to take in asylum seekers. One must first get refugee status from the UNHCR before such a move can take place, and we all know how difficult refugee status is to attain.
