Delighted to share a fantastic blog by our colleague Paolo Novak @Terminalias:
Asylum accommodation is a political battleground. Drawing on his research in Italy, Paolo shows how the UKโs case reveals that it is never just about housing, but about power, inequality, and belonging.
A timely and thought-provoking read for anyone working on migration, policy, or social justice.
"Five lessons the UK can learn from Italyโs asylum accommodation crisis"
