In cooperation with Agora Association and Legal Center Lesvos, we organised the second conference titled ‘Transnational Defence of Migrants’ Rights’, the first of which was held in Lesbos in June, in Izmir on 17-19 October 2024 with 77 participants from 29 different organisations. For three days, we listened and discussed presentations of participants from different organisations in panels on the topics of Criminalisation of Minorities, Combating Border Violence and Tools and Practices of Resistance. In addition, we held workshops on Antifascism and Anti-racism, Migrant Labour, Contemporary Lawyering, Culture and Art, Feminist and Queer Approaches to Migration, Camps and Closure. After the workshops, we organised forums together with the participants to evaluate the conference topics and exchange ideas about the panels and workshops. At the closing ceremony, the Genis Merdiven Orchestra played songs of resistance from all over the world.
