07.04.2020 \u2013 <\/strong>First anniversary of the\ndisappearance of our sister Rita<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We still demand “Justice for Rita”!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

One year ago, on 07.04.2019, our sister Rita was reported missing. Her body had been lying only 200 meters away from her camp in Hohenleipisch and yet it took the police almost three months to find her. The police investigation took another six months to confirm that Rita had been murdered. Only then was Rita’s body handed over to her family for the funeral. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To this day there is no information whatsoever about what happened to our sister. Rita was only 32 years old, left two small children behind and had to spend the last seven years of her life in the camp in Hohenleipisch. During this time she complained several times to the home management about sexual harassment, but her complaints were ignored throughout. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The consequence of ignoring our demand for “abolition of all\nLagers” can be seen particularly well in the current Covid 19\npandemic period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are numerous self-organized protests by refugees, especially\nin the overcrowded and cramped first-admission camps like Bremen and\nHalberstadt (Saxony-Anhalt), who demonstrate against the\naccommodations they are housed in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Many organizations show solidarity by calling for the use of\nalternative shelters for refugees through social and mainstream\nmedia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other activists throughout Germany, despite the current ban on\ncontact, bring their outrage at the current situation to the public\nin various ways: some hang banners on their balconies, others go to\ndemonstrations despite the pandemic, by bicycles and cars for\nexample, or the current safety measures with a minimum distance of\n1.5m are strictly adhered to. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our long-standing campaign “No lagers for women and children! Abolish all lagers!”, which addresses one of the most urgent problems of refugee women and highlights the intertwining of racism and sexism, is up-to-date on this first anniversary of the disappearance of our sister Rita, as well as in times of the Covid-19 pandemic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In view of the shocking and still unsolved murder of our sister\nRita, as well as our struggles for justice, we hope for your\nsolidarity and support. We want to make “Rita’s” case a\nsymbol of resistance against both the forced isolation of refugees\nand the violence against refugee women. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women and children who are forced to live in camps are not only\nvictims of discriminatory asylum laws (e.g. no freedom of movement,\nracist police checks, ban on employment, etc.), but also victims of\nsexual harassment and violence. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children living in camps have to grow up in an environment that is\nnot child-friendly at all. Often the consequences of these living\nconditions are physical, but above all psychological health issues.\nOn the one hand, the constant presence of the police, who violently\ntake people out of the camps in order to deport them, leads to\ntraumas in their psycho-social development. On the other hand, the\nCovid-19 pandemic shows the disadvantages and dangers to which the\nrefugees in the camps, especially the children, are exposed (for\ndetails see press release:\nhttps:\/\/www.women-in-exile.net\/menschenleben-schuetzen-massenunterkuenfte-aufloesen-wohnungen-statt-lager\/#more-6341).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason we call on politicians* from Germany, Europe and\nthe whole world, while they are fighting the Covid-19 pandemic, to\nfind a solution for the problematic accommodation in camps,\nespecially now with the danger of the Covid Virus! \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
