The Challenges Faced by Refugees and Immigrants in Sweden During Integration : A Human Rights Perspective. In the case of two Cities, Stockholm and Gothenburg

Every human being enjoys human rights. Human rights should be enjoyed regardless of the state of the individual or the demographic features of an individual. A country is bound to host refugees and immigrants due to the existing geopolitical conflicts in various countries. In Sweden, there has been a rise in the number of immigrants and refugees due to conflicts in neighboring countries (United Nations 2021). This thesis addressed the human rights of immigrants and refugees in Sweden between 2015 and 2022. The thesis used secondary data from journal articles to examine how human rights have been impacted for the duration. The research found that the human rights of immigrants and refugees that have been negatively affected relate to employment, housing, and language barriers (Hamza 2021, p. 2). This thesis compared the human rights of these people in Gothenburg and Stockholm municipalities. The thesis concluded that there is a need for non-governmental organizations to lobby for better laws favoring immigrants and refugees and monitor the actions of governmental bodies. The effectiveness of addressing the human rights of refugees and immigrants was associated with better levels of socioeconomic sustainability.
