ABOUT THE WEBINAR
Whilst there has been significant research on the vulnerabilities and insecurities facing refugees on their journeys and arrival in destination countries, far less has been written about those who are constrained to return to their country of origin. But with increasing pushbacks and deportations from many desired destinations, the number of these returnees are growing. This presentation, based on data collected with returnees in three West African countries, will examine the intersectional insecurities they face on return, and their possible strategies of resilience in the face of these.
