The Rwanda Plan

In this current events episode we discuss the Rwanda Plan, a five-year trial in the UK with the aim to regulate the influx of migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers by sending them to Rwanda. We delve into what the Rwanda Plan is, the ironies of the UK's refugee statements, the reception to the plan, and what we can do. This is an ongoing situation, so information may have changed upon release. Apologies to Lord David Pannick QC, I was unaware you were a Lord and thus referred to you as simply David Pannick.  How you can help: https://care4calais.org/stop-rwanda/ https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/apr/14/rwanda-asylum-plan-who-does-it-target-and-is-it-going-to-happen Social Media: @becomingeuropepod  Sources: https://www.bbc.com/news/explainers-61782866 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-62566194 https://www.bigissue.com/news/activism/uk-rwanda-asylum-seekers-liz-truss/ https://www.thenational.scot/news/19980207.ukraine-crisis-boris-johnson-boasts-uks-immigration-record-pmqs/ https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/b/rwanda-policy-asylum-seekers-not-being-punished-home-office-tells-court https://www.migrationpolicy.org/news/uk-rwanda-asylum-agreement.

Om Podcasten

My name is Casey and this is Becoming Europe, a podcast delving into the real-life impacts of European migrant and refugee policy to re-humanize the stories the media and government tell. Each month, we provide an interview with volunteers, social workers, and non-profit organizations working hands-on with the affected populations, as well as episodes on current events and our own misconceptions of the refugee “crisis”. Join us as we widen our perspective on this often desensitized subject and attempt to break down possible solutions into tangible steps we can all achieve.
