The Franco-Italian border, a key entry point to Europe, has become a central stage of the ongoing migration crisis. Every day, people on the move face legal and physical barriers as they attempt to cross from Italy into France, often risking their safety in search of dignity and protection.

The new report by the Solidarity Program for Refugee Help (SPRH) Menton, a student-led
association at the Menton campus of Sciences Po, offers an in-depth, human-centered analysis of this reality. Based on data collected between September 2023 and April 2024, the report draws from border observations, testimonies, and research conducted by student volunteers at the Menton campus of Sciences Po.

At SPRH, we work to uphold the rights of people on the move through border monitoring, food distribution, research, and advocacy. This publication is part of our commitment to shed light on the systemic violations occurring at the Franco-Italian border and to promote accountability, compassion, and informed public dialogue.

Through this report, we aim to highlight the diverse experiences of migrants—from minors and women to those facing healthcare challenges—and to examine how European, French, and Italian migration policies shape these realities.

Join us in learning more about what happens at Europe’s doorstep and why solidarity matters more than ever.

A new report from United Against Inhumanity (UAI) and the United Nations Association – UK (UNA-UK) presents the findings of a multi-stakeholder workshop convened 5 September 2025, entitled ‘Alternative approaches to the Rohingya refugee situation’. 

Myanmar’s Rohingya population has been denied citizenship rights and subjected to systematic exclusion and mass expulsion for decades, with the result that most of its approximately three million people are now to be found in other states.   

Responses to the crisis have been predominantly short term and humanitarian, focused on meeting the basic needs of those displaced outside and within Myanmar. This approach has been inadequate. A broader strategy is now required, simultaneously addressing the political, security and developmental dimensions of the situation. 

This paper and its recommendations are submitted for consideration by participants at an international conference on the situation of Rohingya and other minorities in Myanmar, being held at the UN General Assembly in New York on 30 September 2025.

This report offers an in-depth examination of the humanitarian crisis unfolding in one of Europe’s most picturesque regions. The students’ research highlights the severe conditions and systemic challenges encountered by asylum seekers and other people on the move, shedding light on the often-overlooked cruelty experienced by those seeking safety and a better life.

We invite everyone to read and share this vital report to raise awareness and drive change. By bringing attention to these urgent issues, we hope to contribute to a more humane and just approach to migration and asylum policies.
