Online conference on the situation with migrants in Russia during the pandemic
Press Release, 15.05.2020
On Tuesday, 19 May, the Social Democratic Faction of the Yabloko Party, Yabloko’s Gender Faction, and the Committee for Combating Xenophobia will hold an online conference “The situation with Migrants in Russia during the Pandemic”. The conference will begin at 16.00 MSK.
The situation with migrants has become much more complicated during the pandemic, and even removal of restrictions on work in a number of regions and a number of industries did not eliminate many of the difficulties.
Different approaches to solving these problems have been expressed: from urgent forced expulsions of migrants to full adjustment of their rights with those of citizens of Russia.
The conference will discuss the situation and proposals for policies on migrants.
The conference will be attended by politicians, representatives of relevant NGOs, trade unions, ethnic communities and experts.
To participate in the conference, please apply by e-mail to Anatoly Golov (golovspb@mail.ru) or Galina Mikhaleva (gmmichaleva@gmail.com).
