Migration honesty: “child and unemployment benefits”. Interview with Sodfa Daaji from the European Network of Migrant W

What would you say to people in Europe with passport privilege, silently watching all this unfold?
Having an EU passport is not necessarily a privilege per se. We are made to believe that it is. However, obtaining citizenship is a legal right.
That many EU states do not respect or limit this right turns citizenship into a special privilege when it should not be viewed as such.
Holding an EU passport is not just freedom of movement, but also protection from the daily violence, uncertainty and exclusion that migration regimes impose on others.
For female migrants, it means a lot of things, including greater protection from domestic violence as well as access to shelter and justice, child and unemployment benefits, and health care, education and employment opportunities.
People with privilege have power, whether they use it or not. The question is not whether one is “directly affected,” but whether one accepts living in societies built on exclusion and suffering.
