Brochure: Disappearance along the migration routes
This brochure is the result of a panel discussion organized by borderline-europe and the Bildungswerk Berlin of the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, in which experts from Libya, Sudan, and Niger highlighted the tragic impacts of European migration policies and the phenomenon of missing migrants. The panelists shared firsthand accounts of the devastating consequences of the externalization of migration management, where migrants risk their lives in perilous journeys, often disappearing along the way. Through their testimonies, they shed light on the social, political, and economic factors that drive people to migrate and the harsh realities they face when seeking safety. The discussion also emphasized the urgent need for accountability in migration policies and a more humane approach to migration that respects the rights and dignity of all people, regardless of their origin. This brochure captures these critical perspectives and calls for a reevaluation of Europe's migration strategies to address the invisible human toll of restrictive border regimes.
