Introduction. A nagging thought of a scholar
2019
This paper is – as introduction of volume “Proximity violence in migration times” – is the result of the nagging thought of a scholar and the support the European Commission decided to provide her with in order to favour the theoretical challenge the project envisaged and allowing her to conduct these two years of research supported by a network of partners comprising universities, research centres and non-profit organisations. It is the product of a combined, reasoned in-the-field research and desk analysis regarding recognition and reception of refugee-asylum seekers, victims of violence within their places of origin, during the journey to the European states bordering on the Mediterranea…
Proximity Violence in Migration Times. A Focus in some Regions of Italy, France and Spain
2019
This volume, edited by Ignazia Bartholini, principal investigator of the PROVIDE - Proximity on Violence: Defence and Equity project (Rights, Equality and Citizenship Programme - 2014-2020) funded by the EU, shifted the interpretative focus of its research from gender-based to proximity violence. This theoretical intuition-assertion, fruitful too at empirical level, is informed by a wide-scale reconstruction of the phenomenon of migratory violence and corroborated by the results of the action research carried out by six international teams ˗ Ismu, Oxfam, Telefono Donna, Badia Grande, Aseis Lagarto, Samù International, the University of Jaén and the University of Palermo. Systems of protecti…
UNACCOMPANIED FOREIGN MINORS: A REFLECTION ABOUT THEIR CONDITION AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THEIR AGE
2021
During the year 2020, the vulnerable conditions of “unaccompanied foreign minors” were amplified primarily due to the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, which led to additional problems in the reception system too. In 2020, in Italy, the minors are 7.080. Sicily is the main region where 25,3% of the Unaccompanied Foreign Minors are present. There are several critical issues, for example, from April 2020, the Italian Ministry of the Interior and Civil Protection introduced measures to ensure the quarantine of persons arriving by sea in quarantine ships. Other difficulties that the reception system has had to face in the last year, such as the interruption of forms of socio-labor insertion or t…
Social Work with Refugees and Migrants in Italy
2021
Social Work in Italy has been tackling the internal migration phenomenon since the post-WW II period, when more than 1,300,000 Italian citizens from poor southern regions, where employment was scarce, moved to the center and to the industrialized north of Italy (Simone 2016). Since then, and as early as the late 1980s, social workers have had to deal with flows of migrants and refugees from other countries. Faced with the growing commitment of Social Work to the field of migration, the professional community has been called to reassess both the training of social workers and the updating of methodology and functions, especially with regard to the adaptation of professional work and ser- vic…
The aporia of the European myth. How LGBTI+ migrants are stranded in the Italian reception system
2021
Considerando l’aumento di migranti e la tipologia di accoglienza orientata ad un approccio assistenziale standardizzato e omogeneo, il presente articolo indaga gli effetti della preponderanza di un sistema di prima accoglienza, nell’identificazione ed assistenza ai richiedenti asilo SOGI (sexual orientation and gender identity). La risposta tempestiva di un apparato di accoglienza basato su un approccio di sopravvivenza a breve termine, tende a ignorare le particolari esigenze dei richiedenti asilo SOGI, e di sottovalutare il rischio di violenza dentro dei centri dalla parte degli altri ospiti. Quindi, questo saggio intende riflettere se, i migranti SOGI sono una categoria vulnerabile per s…
