Double Marginalized Lives as Woman and as Refugee: Syrian Female Refugees in Ankara

2020

Este tesis establece cómo las refugiadas sirias son social, económica, cultural, étnica y sexualmente marginadas y lo que piensan acerca de los eventos en curso, su estado y los pasos que el gobierno y las ONGs han tomado hasta ahora para dar soluciones a la invisibilización de las mujeres en la esfera pública. Para ello, he llevado a cabo esta investigación en los suburbios de Ankara con un grupo de refugiadas sirias que están socialmente excluidas como “mujer'” y como “refugiada” y con un grupo de mujeres locales. La atención se centrará en la relación entre los discursos producidos en la sociedad de acogida y la exclusión social de las refugiadas sirias. Cabe señalar que la fuente de los…

Social Workers’ Reflections on Forced Migration and Cultural Diversity : Towards Anti-Oppressive Expertise in Child and Family Social Work

2021

Social work in Finland, like in many other countries, has faced various challenges after the large scale of forced migration in 2015. Although working with migrants is not a new area in social work, the exceptionally large amount of asylum seekers in the Finnish society caused a need for improved social work expertise. Our article deals with Finnish social work practitioners’ reflections on multicultural, multilingual and transnational issues with a client group, which is in a vulnerable situation after forced or other forms of migration. The practitioners participating in our study have either attended a specializing education of child, youth and family social work or taken part in peer gr…

Memorializing mass deaths at the border: two cases from Canberra (Australia) and Lampedusa (Italy)

2017

In this paper, we compare two seemingly very similar instances in which individuals and organizations within the borders of the global North have memorialized the deaths of irregular migrants at sea: the SIEV X memorial in Australia’s national capital Canberra, and the Giardino della memoria (Garden of Remembrance) on the Italian island of Lampedusa. Unlike ephemeral manifestations of grief, potentially these memorials have effects that reach well beyond their creation. We relate the differences between the memorials to the contexts within which they were created: an immediate local response involving people directly affected by the disaster’s aftermath, on the one hand, and a delayed natio…

ACCEM observation strategy.

2006

International audience; ACCEM is an NGO that works in favour of refugees and immigrants in Spain. Since 1996, ACCEM has developed a strategy of observation that articulates national observation and local observatories. The objective of the local observatories is to improve the services which are offered to the migrants, thanks to a better knowledge of their needs and to the use of tools of territorial intelligence, CATALYSE and the trees of knowledge. Since 1996, the Gorion national observatory has gathered in Madrid the individual data of migrants from the regional centres and from the different programmes that were carried out by ACCEM. It provides a wider knowledge of the migrants and of…

El impacto del cambio climático en la movilidad humana : las migraciones climáticas en el contexto internacional y europeo

2021

For decades, the migration phenomenon has been one of the thorniest regulatory issues in the European Union (EU) policy. In addition, today, the fight against climate change in all regions of the world makes the situation worse for the new ?climate refugees? or ?environmental displaced people?, whose legal status is not yet covered by the ancient 1951 Refugee Convention.

Zagrożenia bezpieczeństwa wewnętrznego Niemiec jako konsekwencja procesów imigracyjnych

2017

In the Federal Republic of Germany there is a visible growth of the importance of immigration policy, of the weight of the problem of integration/lack of integration of mi- grants with the German society is visible, and of the need for permanent monitoring of internal security threats and difficulties with their prevention and fighting them. Many researchers working on the internal security of Germany admit that the current threats are linked, by the majority of Germans, with the influx of immigrants to this country. The migrants are seen as a source of potential risks, dangers and internal conflicts. It might be argued that there is an undeniable correlation between migra tion and security…

The Slow Violence of Deportability

2020

In 2015, Finland, like other European countries, received an unprecedented number of asylum seekers. Later, in the aftermath of what we prefer to call the ‘refugee reception crisis’, the deportation of those who had received negative asylum decisions began. The Finnish Immigration Service significantly tightened its policies after 2015. Increasingly strict asylum criteria have resulted in deportations at a level never seen before. Furthermore, protests against deportations have increased and become publicly salient. In this chapter we theorize deportation as a form of slow violence that hurts not only its main target but also people nearby. While a forced removal can be seen as a single, po…

Relacje Unia Europejska – Turcja wobec kryzysu migracyjnego. Makiaweliczne plany czy wyraz bezsilności?

2015

W artykule omówiono kwestię relacji Unii Europejskiej, w szczególności Niemiec, z Turcją w świetle kryzysu migracyjnego, czyli politykę ustępstw i „appeasementu”, jaką oba wymienione podmioty wdrożyły względem państwa nad Bosforem, licząc na jego pomoc w zatrzymaniu fal uchodźców. Problem jest bardzo złożony, mało poruszany w Polsce, lecz budzi ogromne kontrowersje za granicą, przede wszystkim w Niemczech. Aktualna polityka kanclerz Angeli Merkel wobec Turcji oraz niechęć do radykalnej zmiany stanowiska względem uchodźców fatalnie wpływa na jej pozycję w kraju oraz Niemiec poza granicami, a ponadto na postrzeganie w świecie całej Unii Europejskiej. Próba rozwiązania problemu migracyjnego rę…
