As part of the second edition of the Health and Humanity Summit, Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is organising a webinar to delve into the current EU migration policies, their impact on South Asia, and the repercussions of the two regional migration policies on the health and well-being of forcibly displaced individuals in the region.

MSF’s recent report, ‘Death, despair and Destitution: the human cost of the EU’s Migration Policies,’ is a stark illustration of the violent tactics sanctioned by EU policies and member states and the increasingly dehumanising political rhetoric from European leaders.

 The EU Migration Report: Assessing the Current Realities for People   Forced from Home in South Asia

This webinar caters to professionals in policy, humanitarianism, research organizations, and academia with a profound interest and expertise in migration and intersecting humanitarian issues. We aim to foster a multifaceted discussion, enriching perspectives, and deepening understanding of the challenges faced by those affected. It is an opportunity to engage with key stakeholders and audiences, as we deep-dive into the dynamics of migration deterrence policies in South Asia and their profound implications on health and well-being.

Registration is now closed.
