Change begins with us and what we do, how we act, speak, care for and stand up for each other. ANY DAY.
Feminist struggles are borderless. None of us is free, unless every Flinta* person is equally free.

We need to fight for change, protect Flinta* and moving forward in solidarity. Not just once a year. Protesting last Sunday and speaking up was nice, but should lead to lived action and everyday practices.

Feminist fights and solidarity with Flinta* are needed ANY DAY! Not only on March 8th! We need to keep that in mind ANY DAY. We need to be aware of the patriarchy and its power dynamics, its injustice and the violence and oppression it causes ANY DAY.
No sea rescue without you โ your donation makes a difference and helps us support people in distress in the Mediterranean, as is both ethically and legally required. Donation link in bio.
As soon as we've passed it and received all the necessary certificates, we can head out on rotation again. This is all, too, part of civil sea rescue: repairs, inspections, certificates. No ship can go out without all of that! Thanks to our hard working crew and all that support us.
And what else has been happening? A lot! We're still in dry dock in Licata with the Sea Punk I, and many hardworking hands are working daily to complete the maintenance and repairs. The mandatory inspection is coming up soon.

Wรคhrend rechtsextreme Gewalt in Deutschland zunimmt und es alle 12 Minuten (!) zu einer rechtsextremen Straftat kommt, will die Stadt Hanau den rassistischen Anschlag vom 19. Februar 2020 nicht mehr offiziell gedenken. ... Angehรถrige und Initiativen werden erinnern.
Auch auf Ibrahim Akkuล schoss der rechtsextreme Tรคter. Akkuล ist im Alter von 70 Jahren am 10. Januar 2026 an den Spรคtfolgen der Tat gestorben.
#saytheirnames Am 19. Februar 2020 hat ein rechtsextremer Tรคter im hessischen Hanau neun Menschen aus rassistischen Grรผnden ermordet: Gรถkhan Gรผltekin, Sedat Gรผrbรผz, Said Nesar Hashemi, Mercedes Kierpacz, Hamza Kurtoviฤ, Vili Viorel Pฤun, Fatih Saraรงoฤlu, Ferhat Unvar und Kaloyan Velkov.

Europe is managing migration responsibly. Where she gets that from is beyond us.
In 2025 alone, the Missing Migrants Project recorded 1762 missing women, men and children in the Mediterranean. These are not just numbers. These are people dying from deadly routes, pushbacks, and abandonment.

European countries, officials and agencies are celebrating the fall in irregular entries to the European Union in 2025. During the Conference of the Global Alliance to Counter Migrant Smuggling, Commission President Von der Leyen claimed that these falling figures are an example of how ...
dass sie von dem Pushback betroffen war, sondern dies lediglich plausibel darlegen muss. Das Gericht, das zuvor beide Schadensersatzklagen gegen Frontex abgewiesen hatte, muss diese nun neu prรผfen.
Dies ist fรผr Migrant:innen schwer vollumfรคnglich zu beweisen, auch weil ihnen oft Handys fรผr Videoaufnahmen weggenommen werden. Das Urteil legt fest, dass eine Person, die einen Schadensersatzanspruch wegen illegaler Pushbacks geltend macht, nicht beweisen muss, ...

Frontex kann sich also nicht damit herausreden, dass die Agentur nur technische und operative Unterstรผtzung leistet. Eine weitere Entscheidung betrifft die Beweislast dafรผr, dass ein Pushback stattgefunden hat.

In einem ersten Urteil hat der EuGH entschieden, dass Frontex bei Grundrechtsverletzungen haftbar gemacht werden kann. Bei gemeinsamen Rรผckfรผhrungsaktionen, bei denen Frontex EU-Staaten unterstรผtzt, haftet somit nicht nur der jeweilige Staat, sondern auch Frontex.

Der EuGH hat vergangenen Dezember ein wegweisendes Urteil gefรคllt. Das bedeutet, dass sich Frontex ab sofort nicht mehr hinter EU-Mitgliedstaaten verstecken kann, wenn es um illegale Pushbacks geht.

These deaths are no inevitable tragedies; they are the result of political decisions and logics of racism and exclusion. Borders are people-made, and so is the violence they produce.

6th February - World day of commemoration and action against deadly border regimes
Today we commemorate those lost to the border regime and demand accountability for a system that criminalizes people on the move and exposes them to unnecessary risks.
Auf den Staat kรถnnen wir uns nicht verlassen!
Aber aufeinander wollen wir uns verlassen!
...denn so wie Maja heute in Budapest verurteilt wurde, erleben es Geflรผchtete in griechischen und maltesischen Gerichtssรคlen auch: auf Basis von konstruierten Vorwรผrfen und politischen Verfahren werden jahre-, teils lebenslange Haftstrafen verhรคngt.
Vergessen wir auch sie nicht!
Wenn sie in Europa ankommen, werden sie systematisch kriminalisiert, um ihnen den Zugang zum Asylsystem zu verwehren. Es beginnt damit, dass Migration als illegal geframed wird und kann auch drakonische Haftstrafen bedeuten - ...
