COVID-19 has become another touchstone for today’s deeply entrenched politics of militarised borders and anti-migrant racism.
This webinar explored the trajectory and globalization of border militarization and anti-migrant racism across the world, the history, ideologies and actors that have shaped it, the pillars and policies that underpin the border industrial complex, the resistance of migrants, refugees and activists, and the shifting dynamics within this pandemic.

* Jille Belisario, Transnational Migrant Platform-Europe (TMP-E)
