The Ukraine war has revealed the double-standards of the global north’s immigration policies. Refugees from Africa, Asia and Latin America deserve the same sympathy
Global migration policy has started to move in a more humane direction in response to the invasion of Ukraine. While many states are welcoming displaced Ukrainians, this is a far cry from how those states typically treat refugees. Activists and scholars have lamented the lack of similar response to people displaced from south Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. The uneven global response to migration on display sets a chilling precedent for the displacement that is likely to come with the climate crisis.
Hell No. And Fuck Off.
