For a whole week on World Refugee Day, a broad alliance wants to take a stand against the "silent drama at the borders and on the seas around Europe" with many thousands of deaths. Since 1993, more than 60,200 people have lost their lives trying to flee poverty, war and persecution to Europe, emphasised the Dortmund action alliance of refugee initiatives, church and civil society groups, institutions and private individuals. Never before have there been so many fatalities as in the past year. "And these are only the deaths that have been investigated. The number of unreported cases is probably three times as high." read more

Migration is a hotly debated topic across Europe, often manipulated by far-right populist parties to push their own agendas. Myths like “more refugees lead to more crime” or “migration strains social welfare systems” fuel this discourse. Anna Alboth, co-founder of the human rights organization Border Group and media officer at Minority Rights Group International, discusses the alarming rise of right-wing parties in Europe and its potential impact on minority rights, including those of migrants and refugees. With the implementation of the Common European Asylum System, the EU–Lebanon migration deal, and increased funding for Frontex, the upcoming European elections are crucial for the future of human rights in the EU. In an interview with Sara Rastegar from the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation, Alboth shares her insights on the instrumentalization of migration and her hopes for the election. read more
