Listen to Mehek Muftee, working on a PhD on resettlement, and others at a seminar in Sweden about children and migration.
“Borders abound human existence. Visible or invisible, territorial, social or symbolic, borders and boundaries
are one of the cornerstones of human society. As social constructs they are under constant negotiation, being
created and recreated, transgressed against, reproduced and challenged. Nowhere is this clearer than in migration and ethnic relations where they exert an enormous influence over groups and individuals, adults as
well as children. For children are participants in migrations and ethnic relations, and thus they both affect
and are affected by borders and boundaries.”
