Vulnerabilità sociali e diseguaglianze digitali post pandemia: l’inclusione trascurata dei migranti
2022
The pandemic has been an event capable of radicalising trends that were already underway: growth in inequalities, crisis in central and local administrations, crisis in public regulation and essential public services (health, education, training and work), increase in areas of social vulnerability. Recent studies and research clearly confirm the link between social vulnerability, inequalities, exclusion and Covid-19 in the experience of non-Italian citizens, as well as the close connection between exposure to a high risk of contagion and conditions of poverty and social margin- ality, defined as stratification of precariousness linked to the migrant experience. Nevertheless, this specific s…
Child Welfare Systems and Migrant Children. A Cross Country Study of Policies and Practices / Sistemas de Bienestar Infantil y menores inmigrantes. U…
2015
With the increase of migration, the share of the population that needs some form of assistance has increased. Almost everywhere, the number of children who need protection (within the family, away from the family, and even those without family) has increased. The trouble is that often the systems designed to protect children do not intercept migrant children, not even those who are unaccompanied and without documents, who instead come under the jurisdiction of the agencies that deal with immigration. The migratory phenomena put a strain on the welfare systems, mainly because the principles of protection and assistance present in the Welfare system, which are inspired by human rights and soc…
Lessons learned from the facts on the ground and political demands for future agency
2021
Since the first “emergency migration” event in Italy (1990s), social work represented the interface and the filter between the Italian reception system and migrants, acting for initial assessment, orientation and “sorting" of migrants into the various local and national welfare agencies and in the network of public and private services within the reception system (Simone, 2020). Consequently, in addition to the more operational competences, social workers need to be supported by training, in-service training and supervision, in order to acquire, along with updated methods and knowledge, full awareness of the dictates of their deontological code; in accordance with this, there should be an a…
Models and innovative practices for welcoming and safeguarding unaccompanied migrant minors
2020
The number of unaccompanied minors (Uams) arriving in Italy, and in all parts of Europe, has been rising significantly in the last few years, and constitutes a particular phenomenon that has demanded considerable re-organization of the welcoming system and, more generally, the welfare system. The organization of a dedicated welcoming system was established over a certain period of time, through an approach of adaptation and experimentation. The first interventions were characterized by a continuous state of emergency, which prevented effective activation of programmed action. This critical situation still exists in certain Regions up to the present day. Despite the recent development of a n…
STRANIERI, MERIDIONALI O PROVINCIALI? I CONSUMI NEL TEMPO LIBERO DELLE SECONDE GENERAZIONI
2022
In this paper, we analyze consumption patterns of leisure time among young people belonging to the so-called “second generation” of immigrants in Italy. Leisure time consumption describes how young immigrants use cultural products and services. We analyze data collected by the ISTAT through the survey on the “second generations” (2015). A comparison of leisure consumption patterns between second-generation immigrants and their Italian peers does not show significant differences. Rather, differences in consumption styles are associated to gender (male/female), geographic area of residence (North/South), and size of the municipality (large municipality/small municipality) of residence.
Introduzione
2021
Il tema della cittadinanza è uno degli assi portanti della riflessione sociologica. Interpella principi ma, soprattutto, richiede il riconoscimento dei diritti di accesso. Esige quindi adeguate politiche di integrazione che passano anche dalle maglie/sbarre della pubblica amministrazione. Questo capitolo introduttivo spiega quali presupposti abbiano contribuito ad implementare, all'interno delle amministrazioni comunali di Palermo e Trapani ,servizi innovativi orientati alla popolazione migrante nel riconoscimento - anche formale - del loro essere qui e non altrove.
Integrazione dei migranti
2022
Il termine “integrazione” nell’ambito degli studi sulle migrazioni, conosce una pluralità di accezioni, che deriva sia dalla molteplicità di variabili oggettive e soggettive che concorrono alla sua definizione, sia dalla sua interconnessione con i mutamenti politici e culturali costantemente in atto (partecipazione [3], inclusione giuridica, intervento civile e politico, cittadinanza, politiche sociali, convivenza democratica, diritti sociali ecc.). The term "integration" in the field of migration studies has a plurality of meanings, which derives both from the multiplicity of objective and subjective variables that contribute to its definition, and from its interconnection with the politic…
Manifold instances of proximity violence and proximity vulnerability of the migrant women
2020
Over the past few decades and up until 2017, Sicily has hosted increasing numbers of African fugitives into the European Union. Within this markedly multicultural context, the authors carried out a two-part qualitative research project, the first part consisting in participative observation of a number of sub-Saharan women hosted by some of the island’s refugee reception centres, victims of abuse, followed by a set of semi-structured interviews administered to them. The aim of the paper was to analyse some of the role positions found in gender dynamics among migrants, throwing light on possible processes by which mechanisms of submission to and normalisation of gender violence seem to have …
Female alliances against the proximity violence
2021
The chapter analizes the phenomenon of proximity violence as umbrella concept of the most underhanded form of violence against women. It then explores the contribution of the female professionals working in the shelters and the specific tools used by them in order to support migrant women victims of proximity violence.
