The present study comparatively assesses how Afghan refugees in Pakistan understand both the factors and barriers affecting their food security status before and after refuge. Through qualitative in-depth interviews with 25 Afghan refugee families, we assess how quality of life, together with perceptions of a balanced meal, food environments both pre- and post-migration and push and pull factors of migration, impact food security and food choices for refugee families. Furthermore, our results reveal that regardless of the length of protracted status for Afghan refugees, food insecurity remains as a consistent condition for refugee families.
本研究比较评估了巴基斯坦的阿富汗难民在成为难民前后如何理解影响其粮食安全状况的因素和障碍。通过对25个阿富汗难民家庭进行定性深入访谈，我们评估了生活质量、对均衡膳食的认知、移民前后的食物环境以及移民的推拉因素如何影响难民家庭的粮食安全和食物选择。此外，我们的研究结果表明，无论阿富汗难民长期处于难民状态的时间长短，粮食不安全仍然是难民家庭的一个持续状况。
