| June 20: World Refugee Day
Shade Refugees | | It is estimated that, since 2005, around one million and a half people from Zimbabwe have crossed the border to South Africa. The last massive movements were in March 2008, after the general elections were qualified as a fraud. These people flee from the terrible economic situation and of extreme violence for political reasons. However, when arriving in South Africa, they are considered economic migrants and with no refugee status and therefore they cannot receive the international support they deserve. This puts them in a vulnerable position, without access to the minimal social services or job opportunities. They are refugees condemned to live in the shade.

Get to know our work. | In this number we discuss the “border” concept. We talk about, among other things, the “'Democratic control in managing Europe's southern border'” report, recently presented by the Jesuit Migrant Service, Spain and the City Planet Campaign, an initiative launched by Entreculturas in order to promote intercultural values in schools and thus overcome “cultural borders”.
