This report also mentions the reasons for why some Iraqi people fled Iraq and one of the reasons is that people who belong in minority groups have been targeted by Sunni,Shia,and Islamic State militants. Also,the report mentions experiences that refugees go through in Jordan including the mistreatment of the refugee children in schools,being charged higher rates of rents,aid community not providing services for non-Syrian refugees,and not being able to find jobs. The report also mentions that impact of being tortured and witnessing someone being tortured on mental health. CVT concludes the report by offering some recommendations on how to help the refugees more. One of those recommendations is that the Jordanian government should create a plan that will allow the refugees to earn income and work in the formal sector.

CVT also recommends increasing the accessibility of mental health services for survivors of torture and war trauma in their countries of resettlement.
