Migrant voices - listening to those who come

Created 23/06/2008 - 17:10

In a special feature for Refugee Week (16-22 June 2008) openDemocracy.net hosted MigrantVoice on refuge, a debate on the issues that matter for refugees and asylum seekers in the UK.

There's some excellent material there. Join the conversation through the blog, podcasts and articles. http://www.opendemocracy.net/taxonomy/term/5475/0 [1]

Ekklesia has long supported justice for migrants and a more open debate on government and international policies around people movements: http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2007/aug/28/migrationsrealmeaning [2]

We really should have done more on Refugee Week 2008. But the concern rolls on, of course, 52 weeks of the year.
