UN figures, the total number of international migrants.

UN Web TV "Add Your Voice" series - According to UN figures, the total number of international migrants has increased over the last 10 years from an estimated 150 million in 2000 to 214 million persons today. The numbers are such that migrants would constitute the fifth most populous country in the world.

PLEASE SHARE THIS POST!!!!!!!!

For the past two years I have been apart of a volunteer club that visits the United Learning Center (ULC) in Phang Nga, Thailand, a school for Myanmar migrant families. I heard so many stories there that moved me in such a way that I promised them that I would tell the world about it. I was honestly astonished that it didn’t have more coverage already. The world had seemed to forget them. So here I drew some of my interactions with them, my friends.

By sharing this post I hope to raise awareness both about the issue in general and to talk about the FED. I have worked with this organization for the past two years and they are the nicest people you have ever met. Their sole purpose is to help the people around them, the people struggling because of this war. They have changed so many lives and will continue to change more. But any and all help is appreciated, and I urge you to do whatever you can to do so.

For more information, go to FED website: fedgrassroots.org and follow them on Insta: @fedgrassroots

Thank you for reading. And to my Myanmar friends—မင်းကိုချစ်တယ်! ❤️ဘေးကင်းပါစေ။

In 2019 it found that Qatar’s intense summer heat is likely to be a significant factor in many worker deaths. The Guardian’s findings were supported by research commissioned by the UN’s International Labour Organization which revealed that for at least four months of the year workers faced significant heat stress when working outside.

Qatar continues to “drag its feet on this critical and urgent issue in apparent disregard for workers’ lives”, said Hiba Zayadin, Gulf researcher for Human Rights Watch. “We have called on Qatar to amend its law on autopsies to require forensic investigations into all sudden or unexplained deaths, and pass legislation to require that all death certificates include reference to a medically meaningful cause of death,” she said.

leaving ur country does feel surreal at times. like i have looked forward to this day where i’d leave the violence and trauma behind (at least physically if not emotionally). now that it's coming near i have so much cold feet. maybe i don't want to leave. maybe i’ll miss the food, the weather, the language, and so much more.

Call for respondents: Research survey about how loved ones share virtual spaces across borders

Hey there! Are you an international student, a migrant, or do you keep in online contact with family or partners living in a different country? As part of my PhD research project, I'm conducting a survey to discover current trends in how people in transnational relationships inhabit shared virtual spaces together.

You can find out more and fill the survey here (it should take about 20-30 minutes to complete): https://qsurvey.qut.edu.au/jfe/form/SV_5h8T0jT919v3Qgu.

Reblogs are super appreciated! If you know anyone who might have interesting insights to share, I'd appreciate it lots if you forwarded it to them.

fuck that submarine i thereby implore you to read this report and any further reports on this tragedy i know it’s fun to explore the mental gymnastics behind the idiocy of the rich and the phenomenon of a white man’s hubris but the lack of response and acknowledgment bothers me so much

8 de marzo

tercer año fuera de mi país,

tercer año que los fantasmas creen que ganaron,

porque a mi antigua yo,

la silenciaron,

la amordazaron y empujaron al miedo absoluto,

le quitaron la esperanza y sus sueños,

le quitaron las ganas de vivir,

le quitaron su valiosa intimidad,

le robaron la luz de las metas que tenía,

la juzgaron y cuando creía que era suficiente, siguieron, terminándola de apuñalar emocionalmente hasta no poder respirar y hasta no querer respirar,

se la comieron viva y con zapatos creyendo que no sabría levantarse,

pensaron que estaría sola en esta historia,

la historia que alguna vez dije que se quedarían solo en eso: una historia, pero.. hoy luego de algunos años, la desempolvo, la remarco

y hoy, abro el libro,

lo escribo, porque luego de estos años,

ya no existe el miedo,

ni a las denuncias,

ni a la vergüenza popular,

ni a nada,

PORQUE ME QUITARON TODO,

sobre todo..

las ganas de vivir,

me persiguieron políticamente y me siguen persiguiendo de manera silenciosa, a través de los años, cada vez que digo una palabra clave sobre mi activismo o historia,

aparecen como fantasmas el pasado, con nuevos nombres, pero misma figura, rostro,

y ya no tengo miedo, porque sé que no estoy sola,

porque estoy al otro lado del mundo donde la violencia sigue, pero al menos me siento protegida estando lejos,

sólo mis verdaderas amigas conocen la verdadera historia y por eso no me dejan de abrazar fuerte, cada vez que pueden,

tuve que dejar mi valioso activismo, mis posts, mi familia, mi vida, mi ganas de vivir en el futuro en mi país,

porque tuve que irme a poder sentir un poco de paz, vivir un poco, olvidando lo malo,

sabiendo que tu país te trató tan mal,

y el sistema no te decepcionó porque para ti y para tu hermana, nunca funcionó,

el sistema nunca funcionó para nosotras, con diecisiete años y mi hermana con diez, ni cuando tenía veinte, ni mucho menos a mis veintiuno, pero a esos hombres, de alguna manera se les premia,

esa carta en pandemia, sacándo de la cárcel al infierno vivo, fue la señal para que mi padre y mi madre empacaran mis cosas y me dijeran: “tienes que irte del país, a fuerza, luego te mandamos a tu hermana”

luego de saber que mi destino era huir de mi país o morir en las manos de mis victimarios, la respuesta no fue clara, fue obligatoria,

y aquí estoy..

hablando de lo que nunca, nunca, me gusta hablar, la verdadera razón de mis antiguos miedos..

pasaron años y nada, nadie me derrumbó, sigo en pie y nadie tiene autoridad de callarme ahora,

porque, luego de tanto y tan poco,

volví.

Este escrito y fuerza invertida, es dedicada a mi hermana, Pierina. Que literalmente fue “la voz que me salvó la vida” un grito de ella, hizo que no terminaran de acabar con mi vida. Su voz fue mi salvación cuando fuimos pequeñas, más adelante, su testimonio y palabras años después, fue mi punto final para salir de un infierno que vivía en carne propia. Porque mi hermanita es lo más precioso que tengo en la vida, ella me salvó la vida y yo le daré la mejor vida a ella, lejos de tanta violencia que vivimos.

Te amo Pierina Juárez, te espero pronto, aquí, para ser felices como siempre lo soñamos.

The International League of People’s Struggle (ILPS) Commission 15, devoted to the rights and welfare of the diaspora, refugees and migrant workers displaced by imperialism and local reactionaries, reiterates these calls today amidst the escalation, signaled on October 7, of the Palestinian people’s resistance to US-backed Israeli occupation.

We salute and support the courageous resistance of the people of Palestine to Israeli occupation, one of the longest and most ruthless in recent history. They have every right to resist, fight and seek to end the daily and large-scale aggression, violence, brutalization, dehumanization and even demonization of the Israeli occupiers supported by US imperialism.

We condemn the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands, and the Zionist and fascist Israeli government’s moves to quash the latest uprising of the Palestinian people. The Israeli government’s claims that Palestinian resistance is “terrorism” and international solidarity with the Palestinian people is “anti- Semitism” have repeatedly been exposed as deadly lies.

We condemn US imperialism for its decades-long financial, military and political support for Israeli occupation. US imperialism’s bloody record in the Israeli occupation of Palestine is one of the main reasons why its claims of upholding democracy, human rights and freedom in the world is seen with angry derision by the migrants and peoples of the world.

The Palestinian struggle against occupation and for self-determination is close to the hearts of the migrants and refugees of the world. The Palestinian diaspora is a prime example of the need to address the root causes of forced migration. It parallels the situation in most countries, where conditions that force people to leave are rooted in imperialist domination.

We are calling on our member organizations, as well as all migrants and refugees of the world to express our solidarity with the Palestinian people and our condemnation of and opposition to Israeli occupation of Palestine. Let us show the world and the powers that be that, for the migrants and peoples of the world, this occupation does not enjoy any shred of legitimacy. ###

There's no coming back from this. There is no justification. This will always be their legacy. The world will never forget this and I won't let it.

International Migrant Crisis - The New York Times

[biarritzzz]

Anybody who works for a 'non-profit' or an NGO is someone I make a point to avoid.

NGOs are grifters, criminal organizations wishing for issues they claim they want to solve to continue ad vitam aeternam. Because solving them would mean they're out of jobs.

It's a business, nothing more. Humanitarians are the most fucked up, unstable, adrenalin junkie people, hopping from one failed country to another. Honestly it's the same with international correspondents covering conflicts all over the world. The type of person who is drawn to that kind of highly dangerous, unstable lifestyle isn't someone who is healthy or sane.

The money you donate goes towards paying the wages of the CEOs to fund their lavish lifestyle. 'Humanitarian' orgs are deeply corrupt. Human Rights Watch receives money from Qatar for instance.
