Amnesty anual report on human rights in Italy
01/06/2010

Italia has published its annual report on the situation of the human rights in Italy and a chapter focuses on migration and asylum. Amnesty particularly condemns the harshening of the Italian legislation on irregular migration which criminalizes undocumented migrants. While it is still possible for irregular migrants to receive health care and enrol their children at school without the need of showing a residence permit, Amnesty believes that after the approval of the Italian security package in July 2009, migrants have been dissuaded to report to the police on suffered maltreatments and abuses fearing of being arrested and deported.

Italy approves bill which makes irregular migrants criminals
01/05/2009

On Wednesday 13 May 2009, the Italian lower house of Parliament approved legislation, which criminalizes irregular migration. This is the latest effort by Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi's centre-right alliance to get tough on "illegal" migration. The legislation makes entering or staying in Italy without permission a crime punishable by a fine of € 5,000 to € 10,000 and it also imposes a prison term of up to three years for anyone who rents housing to an undocumented migrant. But the bill does not lift the ban on health professionals to report undocumented migrants to the authorities.

The joint declaration denounces Italy's current policies and legislation towards exploited and excluded migrants which fosters precariousness and feeds new forms of popular racism resulting in increased episodes of inhumanity and violence. The International House of Women seek namely to conduct an analysis of the living and working conditions of immigrant women in Italy with specific emphasis on their right to access health care.
