The story of Mohammed, a Syrian refugee, highlights the struggles faced by individuals with subsidiary protection status in Germany. After fleeing war, he hoped to reunite with his family but remains isolated with his disabled son. While he holds a residence permit and has access to social benefits, the lack of family reunification rights poses a significant emotional and financial challenge. With a history of loss and separation, Mohammed's plight represents broader issues faced by many refugees seeking security and stability in a new country.
"Before I came to Germany, I didn't know it would be so difficult. I just didn't know. You know, we're men, and we men are not used to raising children," says Mohammed.
"Housed in shared accommodation at refugee centers, a friend eventually offered Mohammed a place to stay in what he describes as a broken-down house. He says they struggle to make ends meet on social welfare."
