“What’s happening with the Ukrainian refugees?”: Mariya Melnyk at Samsnack.

Hug recently participated in Samsnack where our representative, Mariya Melnyk, highlighted crucial issues regarding the situation of Ukrainian refugees in Sweden.

‍

📌 New Legislation: Mariya emphasized that the new law, "Improved Living Conditions for Foreigners with Temporary Protection", effective November 1, 2024, aims to provide better opportunities for registration, access to education, livelihood, and support for employment.

‍"It will be beneficial for those who are between 20-66 years old, are healthy and can work" says Mariya.

However, it lacks support for certain groups, mainly young people between the ages of 18-20 who cannot participate in the establishment program, and those who are older and cannot work.

‍

📌 Integration Challenges: Many Ukrainian refugees are employed for jobs that do not match their education or skills. We hope the integration system will improve to ease the path to suitable employment.

‍

📌 Need for Information: It is crucial that accurate information reaches Ukrainians in a timely manner. HUG is working tirelessly to spread knowledge and support to those who need it most.HUG continue to fight to ensure that Ukrainians in Sweden receive the support they need and a fair chance at a better life. Together, we make a difference.
