Kamila Shamsie – A Decade of the Hostile Environment Lecture

Watch our a special lecture from award-winning author Kamila Shamsie to examine ten years of the Hostile Environment: its history, evolution and impact.

This lecture took place during the 2022 Solidarity Knows No Borders Week of Action to End the Hostile Environment.

After a decade of the Hostile Environment Immigration Policy, in the midst of Ukrainian war and displacement of millions of refugees, just months after we witnessed exodus from Afghanistan, the British government passed the draconian Nationality and Borders Act 2022, restricting rights of millions of dual citizens, and further criminalising and penalising people seeking protection. In this context, what does dignity, justice and resistance look like? How do we build the movement for migrant justice? Watch our special lecture from award-winning author Kamila Shamsie to examine ten years of the Hostile Environment: its history, evolution and impact. Kamila is joined by migrant justice organisers who work in solidarity to resist this egregious policy and stand up for dignity and justice for all migrants and refugees.
