THEMATIC REPORT 2017 TORTURE AND MIGRATION Figure 2. Legal Residence Status 6.5% 8.1% Migrant Worker IDP 18.1% Asylum Seeker Refugee Undocumented 12.1% Temporary Protection 0.5% The majority of the clients – 54.7 percent – that are in the sample population have received refugee status or the equivalent of that in national legislation. Asylum seekers comprise the second largest group, with 18.1 percent of the clients in this sample seeking asylum in that country. The remaining 27.2 percent clients were either internally displaced persons (IDPs), undocumented migrants or migrant workers. A very small minority have received temporary protection status. As will be demonstrated below, there are significant variations between the five focus countries. Mental health can be aggravated by factors in the host country or community, including living under legally uncertain residence categories, such as living as undocumented migrants or when refugee status has to be reviewed. This typically leads to further problems as the uncertainty leads to further instability and anxiety and also because it often means that people do not have recourse to rights. page 12 54.7%
