Mixed Migration Monthly Summary OCTOBER 2016 Mixed Migration OCTOBER Monthly summary 2016 Middle East 1 MIXED MIGRATION MONTHLY SUMMARY | MIDDLE EAST MIXED MIGRATION MONTHLY SUMMARY | MIDDLE EAST This summary is produced by the Mixed Migration Platform (MMP) and covers inter and intra-regional displace- ment and displacement-induced mobility, drawing widely from available sources. Given the complexity of current migration trends in the Middle East, this summary gives a consolidated snapshot of mixed migration in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Turkey. Current mixed migration issues in Israel/OPT fall within the remit of the Regional Mixed Migration Secretariat (RMMS). A note on terminology: Throughout the report the term ‘refugees and other migrants’ is used to include all per- sons in mixed migration flows (this may include asylum seekers, trafficked persons, refugees, migrants, and other people on the move). Any reference to specific groups is consistent with the original source.

  • Laurine Rousselet Et Leïla Alaoui : Entre Culture De Soi Et Culture De L’Autre
    Guetemme, Geneviève. « Laurine Rousselet et Leïla Alaoui : entre culture de soi et culture de l’autre. » Crossings in Women’s Writing in French in the Twenty-First Century, Crossways Journal, N°3.1 (2019) Laurine Rousselet et Leïla Alaoui : entre culture de soi et culture de l’autre Geneviève Guetemme Université d’Orléans France Dans un monde contemporain de plus en plus mobile et globalisé, nombreux sont les auteurs qui voyagent, croisent les références culturelles et écrivent dans d’autres langues. Ces pratiques inclusives dépassent les frontières géographiques, textuelles, linguistiques et culturelles. Elles sont au cœur du travail de deux femmes qui commencent à se faire connaître dans les années 2000. La première est la poétesse française Laurine Rousselet. Née à Dreux en 1974, elle a longtemps vécu à Paris, puis à Brest. Elle habite maintenant Angoulême. La deuxième est la photographe franco-marocaine Leïla Alaoui, née en 1982 à Paris et qui vivait entre Marrakech, Paris et Beyrouth. Blessée le 15 janvier 2016 lors de l’attaque terroriste d’Ouagadougou, où elle se trouvait en mission pour Amnesty International, elle succombe à ses blessures trois jours plus tard. Elle travaillait alors à une série de portraits de femmes qui défendaient le droit des femmes au Burkina Faso. Les œuvres respectives de Rousselet et d’Alaoui nous invitent à circuler entre les deux bords (Nord et Sud) de la Méditerranée et à considérer, chez ces deux artistes de la même génération, l’exploration d’une frontière géographique et symbolique prenant des formes visuelles et verbales très différentes. Leurs points de vue seront principalement analysés à partir du recueil bilingue français-arabe de Rousselet Mémoire de sel (2004) et de la grande série photographique d’Alaoui intitulée Les Marocains (2014).

These dangerous journeys have resulted in many migrants drowning and the Mediterranean earning the morbid nickname of "the sea cemetery", with a recent incident claiming 800 victims . Some who do not cross opt to settle instead in Morocco, where they have reportedly experienced abuse from the local population. Moroccan-French photographer and video artist Leila Alaoui has attempted to tackle such issues through her art. At the Traces of the Future exhibit at the Marrakech Museum of Photography and Visual Arts, which runs until September, Alaoui's video installation Crossings showcases testimonies of sub-Saharan migrants against the backdrop of the Mediterranean.

  • International Migration 2020 Highlights (ST/ESA/SER.A/452)
    International Migration 2020 Highlights United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division The Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat is a vital interface between global policies in the economic, social and environmental spheres and national action. The Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which States Members of the United Nations draw to review common problems and take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities. The Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs provides the international community with timely and accessible population data and analysis of population trends and development outcomes for all countries and areas of the world. To this end, the Division undertakes regular studies of population size and characteristics and of all three components of population change (fertility, mortality and migration). Founded in 1946, the Population Division provides substantive support on population and development issues to the United Nations General Assembly, the Economic and Social Council and the Commission on Population and Development. The Population Division also leads or participates in various interagency coordination mechanisms of the United Nations system. It also contributes to strengthening the capacity of Member States to monitor population trends and to address current and emerging population issues.
