Leiden Support Desk Migrants invites you to a fascinating and informative evening on a current theme: Arms Trade and Migration – Deals on militarization of borders.

The Netherlands and the EU are increasingly making agreements with countries outside the EU to stop refugees before they reach Europe. This is often accompanied by major deals around military support for border control. These agreements, including billion-dollar deals with countries such as Turkey, Libya, and Niger, have far-reaching consequences. We will discuss cooperation with authoritarian regimes, colonial influences, and how the arms industry benefits from this.

Learn more about the impact of this border policy and what the future holds. Including live music and a welcoming atmosphere!
