The forced immobility of indefinite immigration detention in the UK: How Refugee Tales responds with particular reference to The Refugee's Tale as told to Patience Agbabi
For women who have travelled to the UK, the loss they have experienced and the trauma of their journey is compounded by the dehumanising nature of detention inflicted upon them in the UK. Detained indefinitely, they are situated outside state protection and denied the rights that citizens enjoy. Immigration detention represents a forced immobility. Their loss of agency, the invisibility inflicted upon them by the geography of their detention and the impact on family life will be examined. Further, the effect of being detained or the impact of detention of the partner, husband or father upon family units will be considered. Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group and Refugee Tales have worked with women with lived experience of detention and this talk will consider how the project has helped those who have been detained to share their experiences. Patience Agbabi will read 'The Refugee's Tale' and reflect on the collaboration that enabled the tale to be shared whilst the subject remained safe and anonymous.
A imobilidade forçada decorrente da detenção de imigração por tempo indeterminado no Reino Unido: Como o "Refugee Tales" responde com referência particular ao "The Refugee's Tale" contado a Patience Agbabi
Para as mulheres que viajaram para o Reino Unido, as perdas que sofreram e o trauma de sua jornada são agravados pela natureza desumanizante da detenção imposta a elas no Reino Unido. Detidas indefinidamente, elas ficam sem a proteção do Estado e os direitos de que os cidadãos comuns desfrutam são negados. A detenção decorrente da imigração representa uma imobilidade forçada. Vamos avaliar a perda de ação dessas mulheres, a invisibilidade imposta a elas pela geografia da sua detenção e o impacto na vida familiar. Além disso, será examinado o efeito da detenção ou o impacto da detenção na vida do parceiro, marido ou pai nas unidades familiares. O "Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group" e o "Refugee Tales" trabalharam com mulheres que viveram a experiência da detenção e esta palestra vai apontar como o projeto ajudou as mulheres que foram detidas a compartilhar suas experiências. Patience Agbabi lerá "The Refugee's Tale" e refletirá sobre a colaboração que permitiu que as histórias fossem compartilhadas ao mesmo tempo que os sujeitos permaneceram seguros e anônimos.
