Photos from our visit with the women from Cecosesola
On the 29th of August, we W.I.E&F had the pleasure of hosting Ana Maria and Ana Mildred from Cecosesola (Central Cooperativa de Servicios Sociales del Estado Lara), a non-hierarchical solidary of cooperatives in Venezuela at our space in Hermannstr 22. They were in Germany for an exchange programme that takes place every two years and this is the third time they are having an exchange with Germany.
They also participated in our International conference that took place from the 4th to the 7th of August. The reason for this meeting was not only to visit with each other but to also exchange experiences in our fields of work. The meeting was arranged by our good network from Ulenkrug who among others were hosting them After a few good laughs, we were able to listen to them with the help of three translators who translated from English to Spanish and vice-versa.
Cecosesola is 54 years old, born out of necessity. They work in the cultivation of food and its distribution. Providing the food that they cultivate to the poorer communities at a lower price than the current market Price. They have 26 selling points with the major parts being open from Wednesday to Saturday which makes distribution the most significant part.
They provide Health care services in which a Health Centre was built in 2007. For this to be realised, they were able to get an interest-free loan from a cooperative since they could not afford a bank loan.

B. fragt uns:
bin an Informationen interessiert. Würde eure Arbeit gerne, insbesondere hier im Raum Mannheim, unterstützen. Wo finde ich Anlaufstellen?
Danke und Gruß,
B.
Weil uns ähnliche Fragen öfter erreichen,veröffentlichen wir hiermit die Anwort:
Wir freuen uns sehr über dein Interesse an unserer Arbeit und daran dich für die Rechte von Flüchtlingsfrauen zu engagieren. Wir arbeiten in Potsdam im Bundesland Brandenburg, treffen uns aber oft in Berlin.
Erste Anlaufstellen für Menschen, die sich für Flüchtinge engagieren wollen, in anderen Bundesländern sind die Landesflüchtlingsräte vor Ort. Du findest sie hier: http://www.fluechtlingsrat.de/
Wir kennen wahrscheinlich nicht alle feminstischen Gruppen/Frauenprojekte, die flüchtlingspolitisch aktiv sind. Zur Zeit sind wir mit Projekten oder Gruppen in München, Köln, Dortmund, Düsseldorf, Osnabrück, Hannover, Lepzig und Jena vernetzt.
Vielleicht willst du ja eine Gruppe mit gründen? In Heidelberg haben wir vor kurzem einen Workshop gemacht und dort haben sich zumindest zwei Frauen gefunden, die in diese Richtung überlegen. Wir vermitteln gerne den Kontakt!
The amended ‘Residenzpflicht’ law came into force yesterday.
The most important changes: For refugees with ‘Aufenthaltsgestattung’ the geographical
restriction (restriction of movement) “expires” after three months of
stay.
After that they are allowed to move freely within the German territory without a permit.
The obligation to reside in a particular place remains.
Unfortunately, there are many exceptions:
A final conviction because of a criminal offense (no minimum
penalty or limitation), if it is not because of a violation of
immigrantion laws.
Violation of the”Betäubungsmittelgesetz” (= drug possession), even if there was no conviction by a court.
If “concrete measures to terminate residence”are imminent. But this should never! be the case with persons with ‘Aufenthaltsgestattung’.
Refugees who fall within these exceptionsare, as usual, at the mercy
of the foreigners authorities.
For refugees with ‘Duldung’, the geographical restriction (restriction of movement) “expires” after three months of stay as well.
At least in theory: Lawyers fear that the claim of foreigners
authorities that “concrete measures to terminate residence” are
imminent will enable the authorities to “tie” refugees arbitrarily to
certain districts at any time – as before.
These things will stay as they were:
For asylum seekers in reception centers the stay will remain
restricted tothe district of the foreigners authority. In
Brandenburgthis is the Municipality of Eisenhüttenstadt.
The absurd and unique rule within the German legal system that violations of the geographical restriction are first considered an administrative offense and, in the event they are repeated, aiminal offense.
