Migration has always been a normality in human history, shaping societies for as long as people have existed. This FAQ explains the key questions and terms related to migration.
In the political debate, migration has long been used as a scapegoat for all kinds of problems by the extreme right - and increasingly by centrist parties as well. Arguing with misinformation and racist stereotypes has become a normalilty in politics and the media. Migrant self-organisations and solidarity networks resist and fight every day for the rights of migrants, for a better life and for a more democratic society.
This FAQ was originally written in German with a focus on Germany. We have translated it for people in Germany who do not speak German and for those interested outside of Germany.
