Servitude and Asylumophobia
The enslavement of human beings occupies a painful and tragic space in world history. Denying a person freedom, autonomy, privacy and life represents the worst kind of abuse of human rights. Similar to the dark era of slavery, people in asylum live horrendously in gruesome emotional pain.
Racial inequity, hate, systemic racism and authoritarianism within asylum seekers communities are a cause of asylum phobia. As they wander for protection, asylum seekers are met with racism, the abusive challenges of the asylum bureaucratic systems, and the manipulation of asylum into colonial similar servitude. The Long case-processing duration, unusual deaths that go uninvestigated, sexual exploitation with promises of work and residence authorization, widespread discrimination in social services, traumatizing shared accommodation, stigma, sexual minority bullying and racial inequity during and before integration have been associated with psychological disorders, suicide, and suicide attempts, and in developed countries where this is rampant, states have kept silent, justifying the manipulation of asylum into colonial similar servitude.
“If you apply for asylum in Denmark, you know that you will be sent back to a country outside Europe, and therefore we hope that people will stop seeking asylum in Denmark,”
Rasmus Stoklund
Denmark’s ruling party immigration speaker.
For asylum seekers whose mental and immunity health cannot stand brutal inhuman prison and slavery similar conditions, the first year in asylum is always the last one to live, their tales are always told in dreams by their demised souls to the loved ones left back home.
What We Do
GASHDC ensures that asylum seekers have the energy and political power to confront servitude. Worldwide, the organisation empowers and builds the capacity of asylum seeker human rights defenders to be able to fight for justice in the asylum procedural, promotes transparency by spotlighting inconsistencies, move from camp to camp to inspect and verify stories of abuse and to document strategic litigation cases and other human rights abuses to enhance research on abuse of people in asylum, promotes legal aid efficacy for asylum seekers to engage racism and systemic racial inequity, and dialogues on equity and justice with immigration and foreigners’ government departments in asylum host countries.
To further curtail the heightening asylum phobia, GASHDC conducts digital campaigns and creates working relationship with investigative journalists to expose systemic racial inequity. The organisation has published “Your Fundamental Human Rights as an asylum seeker” for distribution among global communities of asylum seekers to enhance their knowledge of the international proclaimed human rights of which they are entitled to.
In middle income and poor and developing countries experiencing a mass inflow of asylum seekers, GASHDC runs asylum wellness and integration hubs, commonly referred to as ‘Asylum hubs’, these are safe spaces where asylum seekers can spend a day away from Camp commotion, email relatives and friends, produce art work, write stories and journalistic articles, secure assistance in filling paperwork regarding; asylum, employment, joining schools and colleges, marriages, assistance against domestic violence and related legal support and a retreat for safe abortion counselling and support. Here women can bath, wash, iron and change menstrual pads, and access a sewing machine to make menstrual pads and amend clothes. The hubs also provide a desk to collect and document abuses against asylum seekers, provide psychosocial counselling, psychological therapy and legal aid and are a focal point for collecting 1000 stories of KILLER ASYLUMS, emergency HIV prevention therapy, follow-on AIDS treatment therapies and LGBTIQ+ asylum seekers’ wellness and legal support.
Equipped with a variety of facilities, Volunteers and or anyone can arrange with the Hub administration to initiate classes of any kind, from language classes to financial literacy, baking, cookery, art, union organising, and or tutoring on human rights. Classes can last 1, 3, 6 or even 12 months. These hubs are also a resource for play material for kids like video games, children’s bikes, etc and facilitate space and material for art engagement and provide for upskilling and apprenticeship in different areas of vocational training.
These Asylum Hubs close the huge fallback gap being created in the realisation of the Global goals as a result of the huge number of people being displaced by war, climate change and failed economies.
