(Im)migrant Voices
Claudia Mejia, a migrant from Colombia, and a Russian migrant tell us their opinion on the easyRights tools.
At easyRights we have been lucky to learn first hand from (im)migrants the unique challenges they face when newly arrived in a country. Whilst many contacts asked to participate anonymously the people below have bravely allowed their stories to be shared so more can understand their experiences.
