Arriving in Naples feels like diving into a whirlwind of life, history, and faith, all watched over by the silent, menacing presence of Mount Vesuvius.

In the COVID-19 pandemic, foreign-born workers contributed to maintaining the essential services on which the UK depends.

Les 2,4 millions d’étranger·ère·s qui sont chez elles et eux en Suisse sont pour la majorité exclu·e·s de la démocratie directe dont la plupart des Suisse⸱sse⸱s sont si fier·e·s.

Clemens Hauser — Wed, 10 Apr 2024 07:30:07 +0000

Bei Demokratie- und Integrationsdebatten der letzten Jahrzehnte taucht es immer wieder auf: das Thema Wahlrecht für alle Einwohner*innen, unabhängig von der Staatsangehörigkeit.

Mrittika Bhattacharya — Thu, 08 Feb 2024 08:30:45 +0000

In Sundarban, India, my conversation with a Bangladeshi woman challenged the common perceptions surrounding environment-induced mobilities, since she cited insufficient income as the primary reason behind moving with her family. This made me look beyond the “obvious” during a six-month exploration using Feminist Participatory Action Research, revealing the interplay between

La Suisse, comme de nombreux pays industrialisés, fait face à une diminution progressive du nombre d’enfants au sein de la population possédant la nationalité Suisse, ce qui impacte sa structure démographique et accroît le vieillissement. A l’inverse, de par un nombre d’enfants moyen plus élevé, les femmes étrangères freinent ce
