Bosnia and Herzegovina: assessing health systems capacity to manage large influx of refugees and migrants. Joint report on a mission of the Health Au…
2020
The large numbers of refugees and migrants arriving in and transiting through Bosnia and Herzegovina pose new challenges to the health system, which must adapt and respond to the needs of both migrants and residents. This requires an efficient policy dialogue between the main stakeholders to share experiences and identify best practices. The WHO Regional Office for Europe, through the Migration and Health programme, supports Member States for strengthening the health sector's capacity to provide evidence-informed responses to the public health challenges for refugee and migrant health. In this regard, a joint assessment mission was carried out in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2019, using the WH…
Refugee and migrant health in Bosnia and Herzegovina: the role of WHO in complex political environments

Nowadays, refugees and migrants are the focus of intense political debate worldwide.

La participación política de las personas inmigrantes: cuestiones para el debate
2008
En el debate acerca del acceso a la ciudadanía de las personas inmigrantes, en cuanto clave jurídico-política de plena pertenencia a una comunidad, la cuestión de la participación política parece ser el gran caballo de batalla. En el caso español, la cláusula constitucional que vincula el derecho de sufragio al criterio de la reciprocidad, limita hasta prácticamente anular la posibilidad del reconocimiento de dicho derecho a los inmigrantes. Sin embargo, varias interpretaciones al respecto son posibles para intentar activar la participación política de estas personas, comenzando por las elecciones municipales. Sin duda, los obstáculos a salvar no son fáciles y exigen no renunciar a la posib…
"A Detenção administrativa dos Estrangeiros irregulares na Itália e na União Europeia e o Direito humano fundamental à Liberdade privada e à ampla De…
2014
Na Itália, como em outros Estados da União Europeia, vem ocorrendo recentemente nos últimos anos o fenômeno da "detenção administrativa" dos cidadãos estrangeiros irregulares, bem como dos requerentes de asilo, a maioria proveniente da África, do Oriente Médio e da Península Balcânica. Esses imigrantes, pelo simples fato de terem ingressado irregularmente no território europeu, apesar da imigração ilegal não constituir delito, são privados da liberdade pessoal ou de circulação e permanência, sendo detidos pelas autoridades de segurança pública, às vezes sem a validação da autoridade jurisdicional, durante um período de tempo também muito prolongado, em determinados locais, formais ou inform…

Temps prestats. Joves d'origen marroquí que migren en solitari al País Valencià
2015
El principal objectiu d’esta tesi doctoral és contribuir al coneixement sobre la migració d’aquells joves menors d’edat que emprenen en solitari els seus projectes migratoris. Aquest fenomen, comença a prendre volada a partir de l’any 2004 País al Valencià, com ocorre també a la resta del territori, alhora que penetra amb força en l’agenda dels mitjans de comunicació i l’opinió pública. El fenomen de la migració de menors d’edat ha estat abordat des de diverses disciplines en els darrers anys i nodrint-se esta tesi de molts d’ells, especialment d’aquells que contribueixen a revelar les lògiques que construeixen aquest col•lectiu de menors d’edat com una amenaça i els problema.

Literacy and literacy practices: Plurilingual connected migrants and emerging literacy
2021
Abstract Recent migration towards Europe is characterized by the massive presence of adults whose educational paths have been interrupted and who are thus developing literacy for the first time in a new language. A literacy test elaborated at the University of Palermo, Italy, showed that, on a sample of 774 migrants, about 30 percent could not read and/or write short words. This test assessed the learners’ abilities to read and write, whether in the Roman alphabet or in other writing systems, and whether in Italian or in other languages of learners’ repertoires. These learners with emergent literacy mostly came from sub-Saharan Africa, an area characterized by diverse forms of multilinguali…
Exploring Neighborhood Influences on Small-Area Variations in Intimate Partner Violence Risk: A Bayesian Random-Effects Modeling Approach
2014
This paper uses spatial data of cases of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) to examine neighborhood-level influences on small-area variations in IPVAW risk in a police district of the city of Valencia (Spain). To analyze area variations in IPVAW risk and its association with neighborhood-level explanatory variables we use a Bayesian spatial random-effects modeling approach, as well as disease mapping methods to represent risk probabilities in each area. Analyses show that IPVAW cases are more likely in areas of high immigrant concentration, high public disorder and crime, and high physical disorder. Results also show a spatial component indicating remaining variability attribut…
