Saudi Arabia should implement labor, immigration, and criminal justice reforms to protect domestic workers from serious human rights abuses that in some cases amount to slavery, Human Rights Watch said in the 133-page report <<'As If I Am Not Human': Abuses against Asian Domestic Workers in Saudi Arabia>> released today. Employers often face no punishment for committing abuses including months or years of unpaid wages, forced confinement, and physical and sexual violence, while some domestic workers face imprisonment or lashings for spurious charges of theft, adultery, or "witchcraft".

Intervista a cura di MeltingPot Europa a Tiziano Bonini, autore di una tesi, intitolata “Turisti, migranti, vagabondi: tornare a casa/sentirsi a casa con i media”, dedicata al modo in cui i migranti si servono della comunicazione per colmare il senso di spaesamento, la distanza dai propri luoghi, dalle persone, da un modo di vita familiare.
L'intervista all'autore permette di evidenziare un altro aspetto del tema "media e migrazione" che non riguarda come i media rappresentano i migranti sui nostri territori, ma come i migranti stessi utilizzino i media per abbattere il confine che si portano addosso.

Schon lange gibt es, nicht nur in Berlin, viele Schulklassen, in denen kein Kind die deutsche, die Unterrichtssprache richtig beherrscht. Es hat Jahre gedauert, bis die ersten Studien zum Sprachvermögen, richtiger wäre Unvermögen, der Migrantenkinder vorlagen. Seitdem sind Millionen Euro für Förderstunden, für die Qualifizierung der Lehrer, für Sozialstationen, Sozialarbeiter, für Müttersprachkurse und vieles mehr ausgegeben worden.
