UNS GIBT ES, WIR SIND HIER at Linke Buchtage Berlin
WE EXIST, WE ARE HERE contains eight stories of refugee women living in Germany, at times enraging and dispiriting, at times empowering and uplifting. The stories, translated in various languages, recount women’s experiences of being trafficked through Libya and forced into prostitution; of fleeing state repression and societal oppression in Egypt, Syria and Iran; of being persecuted for academic activism in Turkey, or for drug addiction in Russia; women robbed of their right to self-determination; women who have resisted deportation, and who fight racism and racist structures in Germany every day.
Reading & discussion in English and German with activists from International Women* Space (Berlin).
