Invisible Borders: the Tech and Violence of Fortress Europe

education, news, politics · EN

The technology and defence industry is deeply embedded in the EU's border policy, benefiting from increasingly hostile approaches to migration. As governments invest billions in border surveillance technologies, the consequences are felt most acutely by people seeking safety and a dignified life. This podcast emerges from a two-year project led by the Border Violence Monitoring Network, in collaboration with I Have Rights, Collective Aid, Mission Wings, and other Network members. The research examines how expanding surveillance infrastructures are experienced by people on the move — at borders and along migration routes. Alongside an accompanying dossier, the podcast explores the lived realities behind Europe’s border technologies and the human cost of a rapidly expanding surveillance regime. Hosted on Acast.
