Stop the Inhumanity at Europe's Borders! - United Against Inhumanity

Introduction

This is the homepage of the collective campaign: Stop the Inhumanity at Europe’s Borders. It aims to create a civil society mobilisation to maximise its political impact. There are currently over 100 signatories and you will find a rolling list of all the signatory organisations’ logos above, and their names are at the bottom of this webpage.

The campaign will bring together experienced and expert organisations in the fields of humanitarian response, asylum, and migrant rights in order to pressure European governments and relevant European institutions to profoundly reform the current border regime and practices, and to stop the appalling inhumanities being experienced by people on the move.

After the official launch of the campaign on 30 January 2024, the Collective Demand with an accompanying cover letter was sent to 36 Heads of European Governments on 1st March. The text of this standard letter can be found here. To receive a copy of the letter to a specific government, write to .

New signatories are welcome as the campaign evolves. To join the campaign, your civil society organisation can sign-up as a co-signatory to the Collective Demand by filling out this form.

Of course we welcome any contribution to relay the campaign to the authorities, the media and other concerned stakehdolders in your own area, as well as suggestions for events that you may be able to organize. Efforts to convince civil society members of your own network to sign up will be much appreciated.

As the campaign progresses, you will be kept informed of further actions that will be planned to amplify our collective impact.
