Invisible Borders was a two-year research project led by the Border Violence Monitoring Network alongside I Have Rights, Collective Aid, Mission Wings and other members of the Network.
Our research sought to understand how people on the move experience increased surveillance at the borders and in transit.
We produced a podcast and a dossier of texts to go with it. You can find them on this website.
