Comunidades locales: primeras y últimas proveedoras de protección (Migraciones Forzadas Revista 53 2016)

October 30, 2016

A menudo es la propia comunidad de la gente la que proporciona la primera, última y tal vez mejor táctica de respuesta para muchas personas afectadas por o bajo amenaza de desplazamiento.  En los 23 artículos temáticos de este número de RMF, autores de todo el mundo —incluyendo autores refugiados y desplazados— exploran la capacidad de las comunidades para organizarse antes, durante y después del desplazamiento en formas que ayuden a proteger a la comunidad.

RMF 53 también incluye 8 artículos sobre otros temas de la migración forzada.

Local communities: first and last providers of protection (Forced Migration Review 53 2016)

October 9, 2016

It is often people’s immediate community that provides the first, last and perhaps best tactical response for many people affected by or under threat of displacement. In the 23 feature theme articles in this issue of FMR, authors from around the world – including authors who are themselves displaced – explore the capacity of communities to organise themselves before, during and after displacement in ways that help protect the community.

FMR 53 also includes eight ‘general’ articles on other aspects of forced migration.

Voices of Refugees: Information and Communication Needs of Refugees in Greece and Germany (BBC Media Action Research Report 2016)

July 22, 2016

Since 2015, more than a million women, men and children have undertaken perilous journeys to reach northern European countries, using unofficial migration routes across the Mediterranean Sea and south-east Europe.

This study provides a snapshot of refugees’ experiences regarding communication and information at different points on their journey, based on interviews with 79 refugees and 45 humanitarian actors. Intended to inform humanitarian agencies responding to the refugee crisis in Europe, it examines the communication behaviours and priority information needs of refugees in three areas: on their journey, in “transit” camps in Greece, and in Germany.

The findings highlight refugees’ need for critical information about how to survive in their current situation, and what their future will hold. Broader communication needs are also presented: refugees expressed their need to be listened to and tell their stories, and participate in dialogue that provides them with physical, social and psychosocial support.

In April 2016, humanitarian agency staff in Greece reviewed the research findings and discussed how they could better meet refugees’ current information and communication needs in this constantly shifting context. The report shares recommendations from agencies and refugees, and concludes with reflections of how media and communication can support in this crisis.
