The Project
The Border Violence Monitoring Network (BVMN) is a horizontal self-organized network denouncing pushbacks, other human rights violations and broader forms of violence against people on the move at and within European borders. We act in solidarity with those affected by border violence irrespective of status, built on anti-fascist and anti-racist values, to challenge existing border regimes and propose viable alternatives.
Credits and Thanks
This research built on existing knowledge and was only possible through the reporting and activism by many actors over the last years. We thank everyone that has made this work possible. We especially thank Nicos Trimikliniotis for sharing extensive documentation of pushbacks with us and Alarm Phone for sharing incident locations.
