“We act in solidarity with those affected by border violence irrespective of their status, and are built on anti-fascist and anti-racist values. We challenge existing border regimes and propose viable alternatives. We believe in freedom of movement, the right to seek safety, and legal passages. Our aim is to end the violence and injustice deriving from the discriminatory European migration regime and the politics of criminalisation of people on the move. We envision accountable institutions which respect human rights and dignity whilst upholding the rule of law.”
“BVMN is an independent, horizontal, self-organised network of NGOs, associations, and collectives. Our members (some of which are anonymous) participate in our Open Assembly to decide upon key strategic actions affecting our work. These decisions are carried out by a team of coordinators that manage daily operations. Each member organisation provides its own specific types of aid in addition to its involvement in BVMN.”
