Angry young men in camps: gender, age and class relations among Burundian refugees in Tanzania Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE REFUGEE CAMPS WOMEN CHILDREN FORCED MIGRATION ASYLUM SEEKERS SOCIAL SERVICES PROTECTION VIOLENCE HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS This paper sets out to explore how life in a refugee camp affects gender, age and class relations among Burundian refugees in Tanzania.1 More specifically, it focuses on how the relief operation's policy of equality challenges older hierarchies of authority.
