A migrant's perspective On November 25, 1960, the sisters Minerva, Patria, and María Teresa—three political activists from the Dominican Republic—fought fiercely against the dictator Rafael Trujillo. The assassination of the Mirabal sisters was the event that triggered the fall of the Trujillo dictatorship. In 1999, the National Commemorations in honor of the Mirabal sisters were established on November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was proclaimed on December 10, 1948, and comprises 48 articles that establish human rights as universal and inalienable for all people. As we know, however, the mere existence of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is not sufficient to prevent the countless human rights violations that have occurred throughout history. We are currently in a crisis. There are more active conflicts worldwide than ever before; climate change has re

A collaboration between Frauenkreise & Space2groW with Reach Out, KOP & URRM In the course of our work, we have witnessed many people come to our counseling centers who were affected by the removal of their children or were at risk of removal by the hands of the youth welfare office. We have found that the institutions involved in processes such as this one tend to lack tact, awareness, and understanding of the precarious and racist reality of migrants in Germany. These facto

This year has been particularly difficult for humanity. It has been a year marked by wars, by a rising far right that threatens to be the cause of the greatest setbacks in human history; reproductive justice, environmental justice, travel, equitable distribution of resources, and so many other incredibly delicate policies and causes are now at risk. We are talking about an extreme far right that directly targets feminism and immigration. Even proposed measures, such as the Pa
