Migrants and Refugees under Covid
Event Information
About this Event
We have observed tightening of immigration and asylum laws decades on end. We have noticed how the Windrush generation was and is being treated by the current British government.
There has also been a strong community response against racism and the hostile environment in UK and beyond. Let us not forget the Black Lives Matter movement.
But the real question for Migrant and Refugees under Covidis: 'how did the hostile setting manifest itself during the pandemic both nationally and internationally?' And then to follow up from that issue is: 'what practical strategies worked and did not work against such a hostility?
To understand a complex issue, BritBanglaCovid have invited the follow experts to take part in our 4th Round Table Discussion:
