“…The continent faced a crisis of governance and showed the inadequacy of protective measures and border control enforcement. Since the “refugee crisis” moment in 2016 and the appeal to solidarity by the members of the European Union, scholars emphasised differences in refugee protection by national authorities [ 1 , 2 ], international and EU solidarity deficiencies, and limits of municipal solidarity with refugees [ 3 , 4 ]. Gaps from a jurisdiction perspective still exist between member states.…”

Experiences and Perceived Barriers of Asylum Seekers and People with Refugee Backgrounds in Accessing Healthcare Services in Romania

et al. 2022

Traditionally a country of emigration, Romania recently experienced an increased migration influx, although it is more a country of transit than a destination for refugees and irregular migrants. Refugees often face difficulties when trying to meet their needs and access essential services. This study aims to explore the experiences and barriers of asylum seekers and people with refugee backgrounds in accessing healthcare services in Romania. It is an exploratory study with a qualitative research design, which uses an inductive and deductive approach, with thematic analysis being applied in order to grasp the difficulties and barriers that asylum seekers and people with refugee backgrounds experience in accessing essential social services. The research was based on seven in-depth interviews with representatives of significant national or international non-governmental organisations assisting refugees and asylum seekers in Romania and 129 semi-structured interviews with different categories of people with refugee backgrounds from Southwest Asia, Eastern Africa and Ukraine. One of the most salient themes we identified relates to accessing the healthcare system. Participants talked about what information they needed to access medical services, where they looked for this information, and what barriers they faced in the process. Cultural, linguistic, structural, and financial barriers were perceived as the most significant. Improved public awareness, a better understanding of asylum issues, and stronger community support are essential to addressing inequalities experienced by this vulnerable population.

“…To begin with, the concept of "solidarity" is varied and it has been applied inconsistently in migrant and refugee academic literature, where perspectives on the subject range from solidarities embedded in Western enlightenment philosophies to non-enlightenment types, such as solidarity as loyalty and Indigenous solidarity (Bauder & Juffs, 2019). A further study of three European cities with solidarity policies and practices confirmed that various urban actors (e.g., municipal administrators, community leaders, activities) also invoke varied perspectives of "solidarity" (Bauder, 2020). In following, and perhaps unsurprisingly, solidarity cities may differ significantly in terms of policies and practices, not only based upon the articulations of "solidarity" itself, but also depending on each country and city's particular socioand geo-political context.…”

This paper examines the role of civil society actors in engaging with municipal policies and practices of solidarity in the Santiago Metropolitan Region of Chile during the COVID-19 pandemic. With mobility restrictions in place due to physical distancing policies, and the heightened controls of movement in public and private spaces, this study explores how a solidarity city can continue to enable participation for migrants in vulnerable situations and what the role of civil society actors is in facilitating the transformative potential of solidarity cities. Through semi- structured interviews with key informants and local experts, including local government officials, policy-makers, activists, NGO staff, and academic researchers, the study’s findings are discussed regarding implications on the importance of horizontal relations at the local level. In particular, how the participation of local civil society actors can impact municipalities’ enactment of solidarity city policies and the ability to resist exclusionary national-level policies. Keywords: civil society actors, solidarity cities, Chile, Santiago, municipalities, COVID-19

“…Curiosamente, la idea de solidaridad urbana no se limita al alojamiento de migrantes y refugiados, sino que se extiende a otros grupos vulnerables debido a su etnia, clase, género, sexualidad y condición migratoria, como lo demuestra la iniciativa Bogotá Mejor para Todos en Colombia (Alcaldía Mayor de Bogotá D.C., 2016) y Quito ciudad inclusiva en Ecuador (El Municipio del Distrito Metropolitano de Quito, 2019). Este enfoque inclusivo hacia la solidaridad urbana más allá de los migrantes y refugiados, refleja los enfoques de la solidaridad urbana en algunas ciudades del Norte Global, como Berlín (Bauder, 2020). Es necesario realizar más investigaciones para profundizar en las políticas y prácticas del santuario urbano y solidaridad en América Latina.…”

The literature on urban sanctuary and solidarity in the context of the Global North is robust and rapidly expanding. However, there remains a gap in the literature regarding how these concepts may apply to the Global South. To address this gap, we conducted a scoping review of academic and grey literature on urban sanctuary and solidarity policies and practices in Latin America. We focus on the connection between top-down urban policies and bottom-up grassroots initiatives and practices of migrant and refugee solidarity and sanctuary. Our findings reveal that the academic literature lags behind in some contexts in acknowledging the connection between top-down and bottom-up approaches.
