MIGRATORY REALITIES IN GERMANY AT FIRST HAND AND FROM A GENDER PERSPECTIVE
EREI
In recent weeks we have been getting to know the migratory realities of Germany and France, at first hand and from a gender perspective.
In Germany, although we spoke with several people from different countries of origin, the majority were from Afghanistan, who currently live in different parts of Germany: Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Berlin, Leipzig...
They told us about the situation and challenges of people in exile and also about the projects and activisms they have created to respond to these challenges.
CHALLENGES IN GERMANY...
From the moment you ask for asylum you are sent to a camp. However, within the region you are transferred several times from one camp to another, creating an unstable situation and obstructing inclusion.
The rules are strict and different in each region.
You have to wait a long time to start studying German, especially since the war in Ukraine started. Refugees from Ukraine have priority in many areas.
As refugees, we are destined for the work market in order to take advantage of our cheap labour.
...
AND RESPONDS TO THEM...
Working group created by refugee women* for refugee women* to share our experiences and support each other. Also within the camps.
Different movements in different German cities to denounce the oppression of women in Afghanistan and Iran through activism and art.
As a refugee, going to different camps to inform and offer protection to asylum seekers in the camps.

We are carrying out this research project with a grant from the Provincial Council of Gipuzkoa.
