The world is in turmoil with several crises that interrupt the course of countless lives. This instability leads to the flight of millions of people who seek to preserve their lives, achieve security and new prospects for the future. This article is part of a PhD research in Educational Sciences and, using qualitative methodology, aims to (re)recognize and (re)value the voices of agents who participate in the international protection process, in the pre-reception phase. Semi-structured interviews with people granted refuge in Portugal, professionals working in decision-making entities and volunteers were analysed. The main results show the previous experiences that people welcomed in the country carry. The difficulties that the flight and migratory path brought, combined with the fact that states have the freedom to accept or deny them protection, caused them intense suffering, required multiple adaptations and losses of various kinds (material, affective, identity).
