The Uncounted: Why Can't Europe Count its Migrant Detainees?
Download at: http://www.globaldetentionproject.org/publications/special-reports/the-uncounted.html
On International Migrants Day, the Global Detention Project releases its joint report with Access Info Europe called THE UNCOUNTED: Detention of Migrants and Asylum Seekers in Europe.
The 25th anniversary of the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families (ICRMW) should be an occasion to celebrate the many ways that migrants enrich the communities in which they live. However, an increasing number of people fleeing to Europe because of violence or poverty are being met with fear, suspicion, and detention.
This new joint report demonstrates that there is a severe lack of information about the number of migrants and asylum seekers in detention across Europe, which is impeding informed public debate and adequate policy-making.

Migrant maternity in an era of superdiversity: New migrants' access to, and experience of, antenatal care in the West Midlands, UK
I hope that you find this article interesting - it demonstrates that rather than ethnicity (migrants not valuing antenatal care) being a factor in low attendance at antenatal monitoring - the dominant narrative in maternity studies - asylum seekers and failed asylum seekers encounter major structural, legal and institutional barriers with the UK's dispersal and destitution policies being major concerns
Is this why maternal and infant mortality rates are close to the highest in Europe in some UK wards (that are often dispersal areas)????
Access to this article on migrant's access to ante-natal care is free for 50 days

Really hope that people find this useful – it’s such an important topic.
