The arrival of unaccompanied minors poses unique challenges to the host country, raising serious questions about the rights and psychosocial health of that child. This mini thesis explores the experiences of young unaccompanied girls who arrived in South Africa and who are classified today as teenage refugee girls. The author investigated the challenges faced and adjustment mechanisms applied by the girls during pre-migration, trans-migration and post-migration phases. This study highlights significance of stability and safety for functional adolescent development and what happens when stability and safety are absent. 2015-01-01T12:33:37Z 2015-01-01T12:33:37Z 2008 Master Thesis Masters MSocSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10827 eng application/pdf Department of Social Development Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
