Since 2014, and the Tarajal massacre, 6 February has become a day of commemoration for all those who have died or disappeared at the borders, victims - on their journey of exile - of murderous migration policies.
In addition to the traditional March for Dignity in Ceuta on 5 February (9th edition), many commemorative events are planned in Africa and Europe on 6 February to pay homage to these victims whom we do not forget, to demand justice, and to recall that migration is a right.

Proceedings of the Migreurop Conference - Madrid 2019
Since the implementation of the “hotspot approach” by the European Union (EU) in 2015, Migreurop has been decoding its consequences on migrants’ rights in publications and throughout various international meetings (Calais 2015, Rabat 2016).
