The debate on migration is becoming increasingly polarised and politically instrumentalised. In a new series, borderline-europe is questioning widespread myths such as the supposed overburdening of the economy or the alleged increase in crime caused by migrants.

This brochure is the result of a panel discussion organized by borderline-europe and the Bildungswerk Berlin of the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, in which experts from Libya, Sudan, and Niger highlighted the tragic impacts of European migration policies and the phenomenon of missing migrants.

Migration and solidarity with people on the move is being increasingly criminalised. Resisting this criminalisation is a central part of our work. We research and document socio-political developments and cases of criminalisation. In doing so, we provide concrete support for those affected and inform and sensitize a broad public in the form of information materials, public events and campaigns.

Enforced disappearance is a particularly insidious form of political repression. Political opponents are silenced and their entire social circle is intimidated. Together with the Africa Centre for Justice and Peace Studies, we document human rights violations involving cases of disappeared activists and migrants.

borderline-europe is involved in two very different MONITORING projects:

• In ‘Detention, illegalisation and the so-called CEAS reform in southern Italy’, the focus is on the implementation of the European Pact on Migration at the EU's external border. The project started in September 2024.
• "Invisible" is about the situation of refugees in Sicily.
• Mem.Med is a cooperation project between many entities that carefully focus on the people who have not made it through the dangerous crossing of the Mediterranean Sea. borderline-europe supports the project through volunteers.

The Nomad House is an international cultural project initiated and supported by the Compagnie des Nouveau Disparus. It is a project carried out in the framework of the Europe Creative program in partnership with six other countries (Belgium, France, Tunisia, Greece, Italy, and Germany).The Nomade House is a process of creation and artistic dissemination and scientific research on the issue of migration. The project consists of multidisciplinary creative workshops, a theatrical creation, and various cultural activities such as a traveling exhibition and conference debates.
