In recent years, overwhelmingly positive reviews about “digital humanitarianism” occupied the media space.

When lives are at stake, and the law is involved, how should we — the state and wider society — approach defining such complex concepts as refugeehood within both legal parameters and in the common imagination?

Common Ground: Somewhere we can start building from — Ignacio Louzan

Mental Health Care Is Imperative For Refugees — Priscilla Otero

The Politicisation of the ‘Refugee Crisis’ — Jack Bridgford

When news first broke of irregular migrant crossings over the Belarus-EU border, reports were quick to frame events in political terms.

Refugee Women: Barriers to Career Development -Anna Zhukova

Refugee women have long been portrayed as helpless victims of war, dependent on their spouses for support, having no interest in work and lacking relevant skills to contribute to the economy of their host countries. The employment rates of refugee women are indeed quite low: in Europe only 45% of…
