At the EDGE Funders Conference, held in Berlin in 2023, grassroots activists arrived not just with hope, but with lived expertise, ready to co-create justice. Instead, many of us were tokenized and sidelined, our presence reduced to symbolic inclusion rather than meaningful partnership. At the 2025 conference in Bogotá, themed “From Pledge to Action: Accountability in Philanthropy,” taking place from April 28–30, Jennifer Kamau from IW*S spoke for most of the grassroots organizations attending, in her input, that we must confront this imbalance head-on. True accountability means more than panel invitations or listening sessions — it means shared power, equitable funding, and a fundamental rethinking of philanthropy’s role. We are not here to be managed or observed. We are here to lead, build, and transform.

 As a migrant-led, feminist, anti-colonial group, International Women* Space — alongside the Migrant Justice Community of Practice — calls on funders to stop replicating the very hierarchies we aim to dismantle. In an era of rising authoritarianism and repression, grassroots movements are not only resisting, but offering bold, grounded visions of justice. Yet we remain underfunded and overextracted. If EDGE and its members are serious about systemic change, they must shift from comfort to commitment — from controlling narratives to co-creating liberation.

Read the whole Statement here.

 

“The issue is not just about listening— it is about acknowledging the lived realities, the diversity of our experiences, and the deep interconnectedness of our visions for justice. If funders truly cared about justice, they would stop building the vision of justice and social transformation in boardrooms, with communities and recognize that we all have a critical role to play in shaping the future. Right now, there is no real transformation—just the same old power structures, dressed up in new words.”

Europe erects barriers and military defense systems to keep economically disadvantaged people out of the global South. The (post-)colonial responsibility for poverty and environmental destruction remains largely unnoticed. Resources are exploited unhindered and global injustices are perpetuated. Questions that are being addressed in this conversation are: What conclusions can be drawn from this? How can we break out of ignorance, violence and defencelessness in the age of migration?

Break Isolation Group: Slam Poetry as Protest https://iwspace.de/2025/04/break-isolation-group-slam-poetry-as-protest/ Thu, 10 Apr 2025 09:48:48 +0000 https://iwspace.de/?p=78500 In a recent interview with ILGA Europe, members of the Break Isolation Group shared how spoken word and slam poetry serve as vital tools for resistance, catharsis, and survival for queer racialized asylum seekers and refugees facing systemic repression in Germany. Ann and Rose explained how poetry offers them a platform to express anger, tell their stories, and create community in spaces where traditional political engagement is often inaccessible. Through their work, our Break Isolation Group challenges Eurocentric notions of art, reclaiming storytelling as a powerful form of expression deeply rooted in BIPOC cultures. Their activism not only reshapes art but amplifies the voices of those often silenced by the state. In the rest of the article, the interview explores how BIPOC queer activists across Europe are using “artivism” — a fusion of art and activism — to resist marginalization, address oppression, and build solidarity within their communities.

Palestine: We call for an intersectional and feminist solidarity that transcends borders https://iwspace.de/2024/11/palestine-we-call-for-an-intersectional-and-feminist-solidarity-that-transcends-borders/ Fri, 08 Nov 2024 11:23:33 +0000 https://iwspace.de/?p=78122

As we mark one year since the beginning of the current brutal assault on Gaza, we stand unapologetically in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

We honor the Palestinian women*, who, in the face of immense pain, death, and oppression, sustain families and communities.

Our feminism is anti-colonial and anti-racist at its core, meaning a radical transformation of society. We reject capitalist greed, colonial violence and patriarchal exploitation, which lead us only to death and destruction. Instead, we choose solidarity, sustainability and freedom. We choose life.

We call for an intersectional and feminist solidarity that transcends borders. The fight against colonialism is urgent and global; it connects women and queers everywhere who experience the violence of cis-hetero-patriarchy, capitalism and white supremacy.

We condemn sexual violence while rejecting the exploitation of sexual violence in the service of genocide. Our lives and bodies must be free from all violence: patriarchal, homo/transphobic, colonial, capitalist. We are united in our demand for freedom, safety, dignity, and the right to self-determination.

After a year of unimaginable terror in Gaza, and escalation of colonial violence in the West Bank and Lebanon, we say loud and clear:

Stop the genocide in Gaza!
Stop all military aggression!
Abolish all colonial projects, nations and borders!
Abolish patriarchy and capitalism!

Dear EU leaders: Change course and end your war on migrants! https://iwspace.de/2024/10/eu-leaders-change-course-and-end-your-war-on-migrants/ Wed, 30 Oct 2024 11:35:50 +0000 https://iwspace.de/?p=78235 Following Ursula von der Leyen’s recent endorsement of offshore detention centres, and other EU leaders announcing various rollbacks on asylum and refugee rights, migrant-led organisations write to EU institutions to demand alternatives to the EU’s deadly border regime. 

Ursula von der Leyen, European Commission, EU Interior Ministers,

We, organisations led by migrants and racialised people, along with our supporters, write to European leaders to condemn the violent, punitive and immoral turn in European migration politics in recent weeks. 

In recent weeks, we, residents of Europe  organising amongst both new and long-standing migrant communities, have watched as EU leaders have declared war on migrants and international law.

From illegal proposals to suspend the right to asylum and adopt offshore migrant processing models, the creation of EU ‘safe’ third-country lists and extended periods of internal border checks in the Schengen area, to our consistent reality of prison-like detention centres, state violence and racial profiling, illegal pushbacks and violent and unlawful deportations, European leaders have reached a point of no return. 

These announcements are part of a trajectory of worsening demonisation of migrants and the complete erosion of international law. For almost a decade, the European Union has pursued violent, ineffective and expensive migration measures that expand prison-like detention centres, endorse racial profiling and facilitate pushbacks and violence at borders. 

Human rights organisations have consistently framed these developments as flagrant violations of international law. We agree. However, we should also clarify that European leaders are unashamedly emulating a fascist politics reminiscent of Europe’s genocidal and colonial history.  We see the consistent demonisation and blame of our communities as a clear attempt to distract Europe’s residents from decades of political, economic and environmental failures. 

Rather than orient policies toward safety, protection and social provision for all, European leaders have settled for a politics of securitisation, criminalisation, and violence. The EU has pursued migration policies geared toward criminalising our communities, militarising borders, and endorsing far-right and racist violence. 

What you frame as a ‘migration crisis’, is actually a global inequality crisis. Recent announcements on migration conveniently evade responsibility for Europe’s past and present role contributing to the root causes of migration: displacement caused by climate change and environmental destruction, resource and wealth extraction,  colonialism, conflict, military intervention and political destabilisation. The EU is presenting an inhuman, unworkable response to problems it itself has created and contributed to.  

Attacks on migrants rights are the beginning of attacks on everybody. Anti-migrant politics and the subsequent degradation of rights have opened the door for rollbacks in women’s rights and the right to abortion, anti-gender movements, anti-worker movements and the widespread repression of civil liberties.  The far-right forces that birthed this narrative and the centrist ones that normalise them are responsible for broader threats to democracy and the rule of law. Collectively, these trends disproportionately impact communities at risk of state violence, including (undocumented) migrants, racialised, queer and trans people, and sex workers.

We call on leaders to change course and present a meaningful alternative to current EU migration policy, which is illegal, immoral, and unworkable.

Instead of wasting billions on new offshore detention centres, illegal and costly deportation procedures, and the militarisation of borders, European leaders could implement  policies in compliance with human rights, toward economic well being, safety and community care, and invest in long-term solutions to address climate degradation, conflict, and economic decline. 

We need:

  • Safe and legal routes for migrants, asylum seekers and refugees;
  • Pathways to regularisation and an end to the criminalisation of people on the move;
  • Address the root causes of why people flee their countries, including by ending EU investment in the militarisation and securitisation of borders, the weapons trade, fossil fuels, and other industrial strategies contributing to conflict and climate degradation in the global South;
  • Policies that focus on addressing the needs of all people (including migrants, shift and gig economy workers, unpaid carers, and those in precarious work) instead of prioritising corporate profits;
  • A comprehensive economic and social strategy for everyone living in Europe.

We call on European leaders to change course and end their war on migrants. Instead, reorient your policies to centre a politics of care, protection and safety for all, including migrant communities.

Building a Migrant Justice Community of Practice https://iwspace.de/2024/10/migrant-justice-community-of-practice/ Wed, 23 Oct 2024 08:00:45 +0000 https://iwspace.de/?p=78146

Equinox Initiative for Racial Justice, Greek Forum of Migrants and International Women* Space are building a Migrant Justice Community of Practice: a coalition of migrant-led organisations working to shift European migration approaches away from punishment, violence and control toward community, care and social provision.  

In a climate of growing far-right, anti-migrant political power across Europe, migrant and racialised communities are increasingly vilified, criminalised and scapegoated for a range of social problems.

We are seeing the hardening of punitive, criminalising and discriminatory migration laws and policies, as well as an increase in legislation, resources and infrastructure that militarises borders and European migration policy.

We want to see resources, legislation and policy used to protect people’s lives rather than support systems of punishment, containment and control. We need an alternative force that centres the needs, goals and approaches of grassroots migrant activism. 

 

Building beyond punitive migration strategy

We are building a translocal coalition of grassroots groups working collectively to shift power in European migration approaches. The coalition seeks to bring together organisations working to redistribute resources and power away from punitive institutions and toward social provision and community care. We focus on building power amongst migrant and racialised-led justice organisations who are commonly under-funded and excluded from decision-making processes.

The coalition includes:

  • Migrant Justice Community of Practice: a space for migrant and racialised people-led organisations to meet, build power and discuss strategies for building beyond punitive migration control. The Migrant Justice COP will meet on a monthly basis.
  • Migration solidarity group: a group of organisations working to open up strategic spaces and corridors of power to the Community of Practice, so that political agendas and strategies to combat criminalisation can be collectively shaped. The solidarity group will support and work in solidarity with migrant-led organisations, more effectively coordinating and using resources to achieve structural change.

 

Our Goals

  1. Shift power in political activism toward migrant led and racialised organisations
  2. Work toward an alternative migration system based on care and protection
  3. Change how EU resources, laws and policies engage with the topic of criminalisation, surveillance, punishment and control

 

Who we are

The Community of Practice is coordinated by Equinox Initiative for Racial Justice, the Greek Forum of Migrants, and International Women* Space.

Jennifer Kamau

Jennifer Kamau is a Berlin-based activist and researcher. She is one of the initiators of the International Women* Space, a feminist, anti-racist political group in Berlin with refugee and migrant women* and non-migrant women* as members. This network emerged from the “famous” occupation of the Oranienplatz in Berlin-Kreuzberg some years ago, as a feminist response to the predominantly male concerns of the insurgent refugees.

Adla Shashati

Adla Shashati originates both from Sudan and Greece. She is a journalist with a degree in Media and Cultural Studies and an M.A. in  New Media Technologies. She is a member of the Sudanese Community in Greece and the director of the Greek Forum of Migrants.

Sarah Chander

Sarah Chander is Director and co-founder of Equinox Initiative for Racial Justice. In the past, she has organised European grassroots movements on racial justice, digital, migration, feminism and LGBT rights.

Get involved

Migrant or racialised-led organisations with abolitionist and feminist approaches to migrant justice work are welcome to join our Migrant Justice Community of Practice. In particular we are centering those working at the intersection of various forms of oppression (including womens’ rights, sex workers, queer and trans issues, persons with disabilities);

Mainstream migration policy organisations working on EU or national migration policies are welcome to join the migration solidarity group.

If you are interested in finding out more about the Community of Practice or supporting our work, please contact migrantjusticecop@protonmail.com

 

Background

The Migrant Justice COP stems from an initial project between Equinox and the Greek Forum of Migrants, supported by the European Philanthropic Initiative for Migration, gathering organisations working at the intersection of structural racism and migration. That project conducted an initial scoping review of organisations and collectives working to build beyond punitive migration policy and toward other methods.

Since, Equinox, the Greek Forum of Migrants and International Women* Space Berlin came together to build the migrant justice community of practice, supported by the Allianz Foundation.

Do you live in a Heim / Shelter in Berlin or Brandenburg > Could you answer a few questions about the Bezahlkarte? https://iwspace.de/2024/08/bezahlkarte-survey/ Wed, 21 Aug 2024 17:33:12 +0000 https://iwspace.de/?p=78054

The introduction of the Bezahlkarte for refugees is taking us back then to the old system of Vouchers we once fought to be abolished.

We want to identify where the Bezahlkarte is already in use and where it will be soon. We want to know what information is being shared about it and what questions people have.

We have created a short survey for anyone living in Heims / Shelters in Berlin or Brandenburg.

There are only a few questions and it will take just take a few minutes to answer.

Information shared is anonymous.

> PLEASE CLICK HERE TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS

 

——

The Voucher System was used to pay refugees social assistance by the State. In 2012 the O-Platz refugee movement come together to fight the voucher system and the Residenzpflicht. Both stopped! Over the past years, refugees received this assistance through cash or over the counter cashing cheques!

Now, we see a change and the introduction of the Bezahlkarte which is taking us back then to the old system.

IW*S are hosting open meetings on the Bezahlkarte topic for organisations / collectives / individuals to join together again and to oppose this again! This survey will support and ground our work.

Aids Conference

Migration is a key determinant of health and well being. Refugees and migrants remain the most vulnerable  population often faced with xenophobia, discrimination, inadequate access to health services due to structural and systemic challenges. The 25th AIDS conference 2024 by International AIDS Society(IAS) was held in Munich from 20th to 26th August 2024  supported by Deutsche AIDS Hilfe(DAH).This year’s theme,#puttingpeoplefirst,Together for diversity,justice and health  at  the global village in the conference  was a diverse and vibrant space where communities from all over the world connected,shared,learnt from each and witnessed how research is translated by  communities  into actions and interventions.

 

IW*S was represented in the conference by Lucy through sponsorship by DAH.

Migration ist ein Schlüsselfaktor für Gesundheit und Wohlbefinden. Gefüchtete und Migrant*innen sind nach wie vor die am stärksten gefährdete Bevölkerungsgruppe, die häufig mit Rassismus, Diskriminierung und unzureichendem Zugang zu Gesundheitsdiensten aufgrund struktureller und systemischer Herausforderungen konfrontiert ist. Die 25. AIDS-Konferenz 2024 der Internationalen AIDS-Gesellschaft (IWS) fand vom 20. bis 26. August 2024 in München statt und wurde von der Deutschen AIDS-Hilfe (DAH) unterstützt. Das diesjährige Thema #puttingpeoplefirst, Together for diversity, justice and health at the global village (Gemeinsam für Vielfalt, Gerechtigkeit und Gesundheit im globalen Dorf) der Konferenz war ein vielfältiger und lebendiger Raum, in dem Gemeinschaften aus der ganzen Welt miteinander in Kontakt traten, sich austauschten, voneinander lernten und erlebten, wie Forschung von Gemeinschaften in Aktionen und Interventionen umgesetzt wird.

IW*S wurde auf der Konferenz durch Lucy vertreten, die von der DAH gesponsert wurde.

Internationalist Queer Pride

“In Uganda, the infamous “Kill the Gays” bill continues to threaten the lives of countless individuals. In Ghana, the “Promotion of Proper Human Sexual Rights and Ghanaian Family Values” bill seeks to entrench discrimination, making it a crime to be who we are. This criminalization of our very existence is not just a violation of our rights; it is an assault on our dignity, our very humanity. But as we stand here today, we must also celebrate the spirit of resistance, the unyielding courage of those who continue to fight for justice, for equality. The theme of this year’s Pride in Berlin is a testament to that resilience: “Solidarity Without Borders.” It is a call to action, a reminder that our struggle is global, that our fight for freedom is intertwined.” – Speech IW*S

On the 27th July IW*S was part of the Internationalist Queer Pride and protested in honor of every person who has ever been told they are not worthy or not human, not enough and has faced violence, fear, and intimidation simply for being who they are.

“In Uganda bedroht das berüchtigte “Kill the Gays”-Gesetz weiterhin das Leben unzähliger Menschen. In Ghana zielt das Gesetz zur Förderung der sexuellen Menschenrechte und der ghanaischen Familienwerte darauf ab, die Diskriminierung zu verschärfen und es zu einem Verbrechen zu machen, so zu sein, wie wir sind. Diese Kriminalisierung unserer Existenz ist nicht nur ein Verstoß gegen unsere Rechte, sondern auch ein Angriff auf unsere Würde, unsere Menschlichkeit. Doch wenn wir heute hier stehen, müssen wir auch den Geist des Widerstands feiern, den unnachgiebigen Mut derjenigen, die weiterhin für Gerechtigkeit und Gleichheit kämpfen. Das Thema der diesjährigen Pride in Berlin ist ein Zeugnis für diese Widerstandsfähigkeit: “Solidarität ohne Grenzen”. Es ist ein Aufruf zum Handeln, eine Erinnerung daran, dass unser Kampf global ist, dass unser Kampf für Freiheit miteinander verflochten ist.” – Speech IW*S

Am 27. Juli war IW*S Teil der Internationalist Queer Pride und protestierte zu Ehren aller Menschen, denen jemals gesagt wurde, sie seien nicht würdig oder nicht menschlich, nicht genug, und die Gewalt, Angst und Einschüchterung erlebt haben, nur weil sie sind, wer sie sind.

Groß Köris Weekend

Self-care and wellness are key to breaking the isolation of women living in the lagers, significantly enhancing their physical and psychological well-being. From July 5th to 7th, 2024, women from over five lagers in Brandenburg, representing more than five nationalities, joined us for a rejuvenating weekend getaway in Gros Köris. The event was filled with boat rides, games, dance, music, and more. It was a wonderful opportunity to unwind, build our community, and create a support system, fostering peer-to-peer learning and exchange as we navigate the asylum process together.

Selbstfürsorge und Wellness sind der Schlüssel, um die Isolation der in den Lagern lebenden Frauen zu durchbrechen und ihr physisches und psychisches Wohlbefinden deutlich zu verbessern. Vom 5. bis 7. Juli 2024 trafen sich Frauen aus über fünf Lagern in Brandenburg, die mehr als fünf Nationalitäten repräsentierten, zu einem erholsamen Wochenendausflug in Gros Köris. Die Veranstaltung war gefüllt mit Bootsfahrten, Spielen, Tanz, Musik und vielem mehr. Es war eine wunderbare Gelegenheit, die Seele baumeln zu lassen, unsere Gemeinschaft zu stärken und ein Unterstützungssystem zu schaffen, das gegenseitiges Lernen und Austausch fördert, während wir gemeinsam durch den Asylprozess navigieren.

Poetry Slam

On July 17th, a vibrant mix of artists, writers, poets, speakers, and activists gathered at Oya Bar for our Poetry Slam Night, organized by Resilient Voices from IW*S. Resilient Voices creates safer spaces to address queer issues and topics fueled by systems of oppression. The room overflowed with diverse emotions, and it was heartening to see more people take the stage!

Together, we created an empowering and healing space, connecting through our shared vulnerabilities. We heard powerful poems on gender expectations, sexuality, colonial histories, love, rejection, and more. Expressing our rage, fears, deepest thoughts, and experiences allowed us to release past traumas and build a community. We inspired each other, made new connections, and strengthened our network as queer refugees and migrants. 

Am 17. Juli versammelte sich eine diverse Mischung aus Künstler*innen, Schriftsteller*innen, Dichter*innen, Redner*innen und Aktivist*innen in der Oya Bar zu unserer Poetry Slam Night organisiert von Resilient Voices von IW*S. Resilient Voices schafft sicherere Räume, um queere Fragen und Themen anzusprechen, die durch Unterdrückungssysteme hervorgerufen werden. Der Raum war voller unterschiedlicher Emotionen, und es war ermutigend zu sehen, wie mehr Menschen die Bühne betraten!

Gemeinsam schufen wir einen empowernden und heilenden Raum, in dem wir uns durch unsere gemeinsame Verletzlichkeit verbunden fühlten. Wir hörten kraftvolle Gedichte über Geschlechterrollen, Sexualität, Kolonialgeschichte, Liebe, Ablehnung und vieles mehr.

African Festival Potsdam

Potsdam’s 2024 African Festival was held on the city’s Luisenplatz from 19th-21st July. The festival aims to amplify and showcase African history, culture, and heritage. This is an annual event coordinated by Afrobase, an African restaurant in Berlin, and many other African groups and funded by the Potsdam City Authority.

Women* from our Break Isolation Group attended the event on two of the days and also actively participated in the mobilization of women* from the lagers in Brandenburg to attend. In addition, we took a place on the judges’  bench for some of the various fashion and modeling shows which took place during the festival.

Das Afrikanische Festival 2024 fand vom 19. bis 21. Juli 2024 in Potsdam am Luisenplatz statt. Ziel des Festivals ist es, die afrikanische Geschichte, Kultur und das afrikanische Erbe zu vermitteln und zu präsentieren. Es handelt sich um eine jährliche Veranstaltung, die von Afrobase, einem afrikanischen Restaurant in Berlin, und vielen anderen afrikanischen Gruppen koordiniert und von der Landeshauptstadt Potsdam, Brandenburg, finanziert wird.

BIG/IW*S nahm an der Veranstaltung teil und beteiligte sich auch aktiv an der Mobilisierung von Frauen* aus den Lagern in Brandenburg. Außerdem waren wir Teil der Jury für die verschiedenen afrikanischen Mode- und Modelshows, die eine der Aktivitäten des Festivals waren.

Lager Visit to Eisenhüttenstadt

Our most recent Lager visit was organized by our Break Isolation Group and Resilient Voices, on July 27th, to Eisenhüttenstadt. In our peer-to-peer community space, we shared our experiences, fears, coping skills, and challenges as women* who are in the asylum system. We shared material resources and connected over some snacks and laughter. 

Unser letzter Lagerbesuch wurde von unserer Break Isolation Group und Resilient Voices am 27. Juli in Eisenhüttenstadt organisiert. In unserem Peer-to-Peer-Community Raum sprachen wir über unsere Erfahrungen, Ängste, Bewältigungsstrategien und Herausforderungen als Frauen* im Asylsystem. Wir verteilten Infomaterial und tauschten uns bei Snacks und Lachen aus.
