(en) wsm.ie: MASI conference a celebration of the struggle for a humane asylum system.
Date
Tue, 15 Oct 2019 11:03:56 +0300
MASI - the Movement of Asylum Seekers in Ireland - held its first ever conference Saturday
to mark FIVE years of struggle to end Direct Provision. ---- Hundreds of people attended
the conference in Liberty Hall whose theme was 'Towards a More Humane Asylum Process'.
People in the asylum system travelled from across Ireland to discuss the past and present
of the asylum and deportation machine and to point the way forward to the end of Direct
Provision and a more humane asylum system. ---- All speakers were people who had been or
were currently in the asylum and Direct Provision system. The harm and violence that DP
causes people - including survivors of trauma, mothers, children, LGBTQI* people, people
with mental health problems - was made clear. Those who benefit from this system of
incarceration - the state and private capitalist companies - were also named and shamed.

The day was one of discussion and reflection, where people in the asylum system shared
their experience and advice. It was followed by an evening of fun, music, song, fashion,
and dance.
Pictured is the cover of the first MASI journal with contributions from a wide range of
MASI activists and supporters. (The WSM recommend you pick up a copy soon). As Lucky
Khambule writes in the foreword: 'It is our goal and objective that the struggle for our
people's freedom, dignity and justice continues until our victory has been realised and
achieved. This journal is a reflection of the lives many of us have lived before and
continue to live. There is no reason whatsoever neither for the system of Direct Provision
to exist in our society, nor for deportations to be enforced on our people'.
MASI first came together in 2014 during protests by residents in Direct Provision hostels
across the country. It is a grassroots organisation based in Ireland. It is a movement of
people who are or have been in the asylum and direct provision system in Ireland, working
and advocating together for justice, freedom and dignity for refugees, asylum seekers and
migrants. MASI's focus is on the Right to Education and the Right to Work for all people
seeking asylum, on the complete abolition of direct provision and an end to deportations.
WSM members were among those volunteering throughout the day. We stand in solidarity with
all those struggling for humanity against oppression.
END DIRECT PROVISION!
STOP DEPORTATIONS!
