The Global Detention Project has just published two new country profiles - one on South Korea, and one on the Netherlands:

Immigration Detention in the Republic of Korea: Penalising People in Need of Protection
Over the last two decades, South Korea has implemented increasingly restrictive asylum and migrant worker policies. The government does not provide adequate data about detention, making it challenging to assess trends in the country, but observers report that this crackdown has recently grown in scale and intensity. Children, victims of trafficking, and other vulnerable groups can be subjected to indefinite detention; asylum seekers can be stranded for months in privately operated airport “holding areas”; and human rights bodies have repeatedly called for reforms in the country’s immigration detention centres.

Immigration Detention in the Netherlands: Prioritising Returns, in Europe and the Caribbean
The Netherlands places increasing numbers of foreigners—including asylum seekers, families, and children—in detention. The country’s Caribbean territories—specifically, Aruba and Curaçao—have also ramped up their removal efforts in recent years as thousands of Venezuelans have sought refuge on the islands.

New from the European Institute for Crime Prevention and Control (HEUNI):

Inka Lilja, Elina Kervinen et al., HEUNI Report 91 “Unseen Victims - Why Refugee Women Victims of Gender-Based Violence Do Not Receive Assistance in the EU”, http://bit.ly/Unseen_Victims
This report is a continuation to an EU-funded project “Co-creating a Counselling Method for Refugee Women GBV Victims”, which attempted to increase the visibility of refugee women’s experiences of gender-based violence in the European Union. This report is an attempt to make these women’s voices heard, raise awareness and promote discussion on the topic of violence against women especially in the refugee context.
 
Edited by Inka Lilja, Handbook on counselling asylum seeking and refugee women victims of gender-based violence, http://bit.ly/CCM_GBV_outcomes
The handbook is a practical tool for those who work with asylum seeking and refugee women. The handbook might be of interest if you are working in an NGO, in a municipality or in a reception centre as a social worker, lawyer, psychologist, health care professional, or similar, giving psycho-social and/or legal assistance to refugee women. We hope that the handbook will give a better understanding on the causes and consequences of gender-based violence faced by refugee women and help you to develop new skills as well as motivation to assist these women. Also available in Finnish.
