Category:Refugees by country[edit]
I don't see why Category:Refugees by country should be in Category:Social problems by country alongside Category:Pedophilia by country, Category:Domestic violence by country, etc. Refugees might be the product of a social problem but they aren't themselves inherently a social problem, so I could maybe see the usefulness at Category:Refugees by country of departure, but not for Category:Refugees by country of resettlement.

Agree, it's rather insulting, if not abusive, to label those at risk of exploitation and even death as a social problem. Rodhullandemu (talk) 10:08, 19 June 2019 (UTC)- Categorizing certain social phenomena as 'problems' is asking for trouble. Refugees are not, IMHO, a problem. That said, I know some who would disagree. I am not sure what the more appropriate category would be, but I don't think it should be under problems at least. Josh (talk) 23:21, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
- I've moved to Category:People associated with war by country (since Category:Refugees is a sub-category of Category:People associated with war) and removed Category:Social problems by country. Does that work for everyone? (Ironically, neither "War" nor "Conflict" are categorized as social problems...) - Themightyquill (talk) 09:01, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
Resolved. - Themightyquill (talk) 09:52, 6 November 2019 (UTC)
