Speaking up against EU externalisation: Activist-led migration information campaigns in Senegal

Migration and global order

Research output: Working Paper, Paper, Policy Brief, Brief, Impact › Policy Briefs, Briefs and Impacts › Research › peer-review

Abstract

For close to two decades, the European Union and its member countries have invested in migration information and awareness campaigns in West Africa, including in Senegal. These campaigns aim to impact migrants' decision-making and prevent unwanted irregular migration to Europe. However, in Senegal, activists have begun targeting local populations with alternative migration information campaigns to contest European externalisation and border violence and to advocate for African citizens' right to migrate safely.
