Facing persecution and death, over half a million Rohingya have made the journey from their homes in Rakhine state in Myanmar to find safety in Bangladesh. They’ve crossed all sorts of terrain, paid for passage across the River Naf and made their way to the shores of Bangladesh. Those who made the journey now live in overcrowded and makeshift camps ridden with disease and lacking adequate, food, water and sanitation.

To find out more about life in the camps, we’re drawing on the perspectives of data analyst and GIS mapper Pablo Gallego of Xchange.org. He’ll be telling us about the kinds of things he saw, heard, smelt and felt as he surveyed the camps for the first time.

What’s in a Label? In this edition of the MOAS Podcast we’re looking at labels and linguistics in Migration. We’re going to explore how the labels given to people on the move have positive and negative impacts on their future. We’ll also see how those labels are shaped for political reasons as well as convenience and the consequences that come with that.

To do this we’re going to speak with Professor Heaven Crawley about her new research into migration categories and the politics behind them. We’ll also be speaking to two contrasting campaigns focused on labels. One says let’s get rid of them and focus on the people, the other says let’s keep the label and let the people given it decide what it means to them. Then we’ll be going back to Erfurt Germany to hear from Tarek Esmail and see how he feels about this. You’re also going to hear our first in a series of Things You Didn’t Know. It’s about the countries that people MOAS has rescued have come from. First up is Yemen.

To commemorate the three years since our search and rescue mission launched, the MOAS Podcast is going to explore wider civic action on the migration crisis.

To do this, the Podcast will be split into two parts. This first part looks at the different people and organisations working to support refugees and migrants.

We’re going to look at what inspired them to do something and what actions they took.

Stay tuned for Part Two where we’ll be finding out about the kinds of problems that Civil Society Organisations encounter and how food can connect communities.

In this episode the MOAS Podcast explores the deadly and financially lucrative world of Human Trafficking in Libya and Niger. We’ll learn about the victims who face a deadly and uncertain future, how integral the trade is to communities across Libya and the internal and external influences that shape Libya’s political and economic future. Then we head back South to Agadez, Niger, one of Sub-Saharan Africa’s major departure points. We’ll find out more about the response from UNHCR and IOM as they try to mitigate the impact of trafficking and smuggling.
