In the last few years we have seen countless numbers of people across the global left destitute, vulnerable and threatened, due to the appalling treatment of migrants and the harmful and discriminatory principles and policies of neoliberalism. Throughout this panel, hosted by academics and activists, will take a trans-feminist approach to explore migration, borders and diasporic experience.

End Deportations are a collective campaign calling for the abolition of deportations and detention centres. Mass deportations are the Home Office’s outsourced practise of rounding people up by their perceived nationality, detaining them, and using violent force to transport them to another country in secrecy. End Deportations has been targeting these flights because they are racist, violent, calculatedly cruel and notoriously difficult to resist alone.
