“To be a refugee” – IW*S statement on World Refugee Day 2024

On this World Refugee Day we must confront the harsh realities faced by millions forced to flee their homes. As refugees we ask, are we offered the protection we deserve? Does data protection apply to those seeking asylum? Does freedom of movement and speech extend to refugees? The inhumane treatment of displaced people exposes the hypocrisy of nations claiming to uphold human rights.

“We will not be silenced, we will not be intimidated, and we will not be complicit in our own oppression.”

IW*S Speech on African Liberation Day, 2024: Today, we gather here in Görlitzer Park, which as you all know fits into the racist stereotypes of our black struggles, asking the question, when will our struggles be visible and humanised?"
