REPCO

Fear, anxiety, trauma: being undocumented leaves on you long-term scars. Excluded from society, illegalized migrants cannot work, rent a house, or study. In this third and last episode of our Podcast about migration and asylum in sight of the 2024 Dutch elections, the City Rights Radio proposes you to discover one of the most complex and difficult topics of ours society today: the marginalisation of migrants without documents. With us today, together with our host Joygail, is Nadine, an undocumented refugee activist whose asylums request has been refused, and Mo, founder of the City Rights Radio, who has been undocumented in the past. Their stories give us a clear picture of the effects of being undocumented on individuals and society, and provide some solutions to this problem.

Asylum seekers and refugees' rights to housing in the Netherlands are hampered by a limited availability of places in the reception centres, as well as frequent moving from centre to centre, leaving people in a constant situation of stress and uncertainty. But challenges in finding proper accommodation are not limited to migrants and refugees, but they are the representation of a whole housing system in crisis. We have invited today Hidaya and Melissa to talk about housing with our host Joygail. Hidaya, an activist and a feminist from Uganda, founder of the Amsterdam City Rights coalition, shares with us the difficulties of finding a house as an asylum seeker. Melissa, founder of the WoonProtest, explains us why the housing market in the Netherlands is collapsing. Together, their stories prove that it is not true that refugees are stealing our houses, as some people believe. You can find the article linked to this episode on OneWorld!

In this episode, we talk about formal organizations with Hans-Peter from Amsterdam Coördination point for undocumented people, Savannah Koolen from Here to Support, Hidaya from Amsterdam City Rights, and me, Mohamed Bah. Informal networks and formal organizations rely upon each other in the support they provide to individuals.

In this episode, Haitham, Eunice and me (Mo) talk about informal organizations that exist. There are many groups that self-organize; migrant communities and allies that support people day and night. The people at the table and the communities they are in make a huge difference in making sure that people are safe, and that human rights are respected. Thank you guys for all the work that you do!

This episode, our host is Joy Caupain from Joygail Radio. He will talk to Ousmane and me, Mohamed, about our experiences as asylum seekers in the Netherlands. We both became 'undocumented'; Ousmane by being rejected for asylum and me by having a Dublin-claim. We talk about detention, LGBT-rights, activism and shelter.

Season 2 of City Rights Radio: the reality of being undocumented. In this episode we, Mohamed and Marion, discuss our lives as undocumented citizens of Amsterdam. We reflect on the different circumstances migrant workers and asylum seekers find themselves in. Together we fight for an inclusive city.

In this episode, Asmara and me discuss healthcare issues and human rights violations in Hamburg and Amsterdam. From our experience, we see that undocumented people/refugees are not always treated as humans. As Asmara says: humans are humans, and if people are treated inhumanely, we have something to talk about.

In this episode, I discuss with Barbara the concept of 'human rights cities'. Human rights cities promise to protect people's human rights: shelter, food, safety. Barbara recognizes that local activism works, so let's keep fighting for human rights together!

In this episode we, Dennis and Mohamed, talk to Jordan about human rights. We discuss how there is dual exclusion of undocumented people: both from law and from effective protection of human rights. Jordan explains the importance of protecting people that protest, and how while migrants are excluded from political rights like voting, they can still influence on the system. Finally, we talk about the importance of the City-ID card.
