Forced to Flee: a student’s journey from war in Ukraine to Berlin

IW*S — Tue, 04 Oct 2022 16:12:42 +0000

On February, 24, 2022, the Russian army attacked Ukraine forcing millions of people to flee their homes seeking safety and protection within Ukraine itself or to neighbouring countries. Faced with such an emergency, European countries decided quickly and without much bureaucracy that Ukrainian refugees would receive temporary protection for up to three years without having to apply for asylum, with rights to a residence permit and access to education, housing and the labor market. However, not all people fleeing Ukraine could access such freedom of movement or protection. Black and Brown refugees were met with a different kind of welcome at the borders and beyond them. We spoke to Captain about her journey.

Wie werden Geflüchtete und Migrant:innen in den Medien dargestellt, wie über sie berichtet? Der Krieg in der Ukraine hat die Doppelmoral gegenüber Geflüchteten und Migrant:innen einmal mehr deutlich gemacht. Nyima Jadama spricht in ihrer Sendung mit Journalist:innen und Aktivist:innen, die sich in den Bereichen Medienkompetenz und -erziehung, Online-Sensibilisierungskampagnen und Solidaritätsaktionen vor Ort engagieren. Mit dabei sind u.a. Alexander Gorski (Anwalt für Straf- und Migrationsrecht), die Aktivistin Jennifer Kamau (International Women* Space) sowie Marianna Karakoulaki (Communication Manager, Media Diversity Institute (MDI) & Get The Trolls Out (GTTO)).
