PICUM: Platform for international cooperation on undocumented migrants

Afghan Association in Sweden

10—11 May 2019 was the PICUM General Assembly in Brussels and Afghan association which is a member of this platform needed to attend in the meetings. The purpose of attendance was to come together to engage, strategize and mobilize to improve the situation of undocumented migrants across Europe and beyond.

  The Afghan association was there to find more networks, build partnerships and gain vital insights on the situation facing undocumented migrants, while it also shared the problems that Afghan undocumented migrants are facing every day in Sweden. The following topics were discussed:

• Access to healthcare
• Access to Justice
• Undocumented Children, Families and Youth
• Communications
• Right to shelter

The Afghan association has manifested that Migration Agency (MA) in Sweden takes a very long time to process the asylum cases. As soon as an asylum seeker receives its last information about deportation, MA takes their LMA card, cuts the monthly payments, the shelter and even health care rights. Regarding to the health care, since July 1, 2013, undocumented migrants has a subsidized right to health care, according to “Law (2013: 407)”.  However, it is too slow and does not cover the ordinary sicknesses.

  Afghan undocumented migrants are going through a high depression, several individuals have committed suicide and/or suicide attempts. While lack of shelter, healthcare and food have brought huge negative and destructive impacts on them. There are both individuals and families whom are afraid of contacting any kind of government authorities because they believe it would result to their deportation and thus they cannot go to schools, health clinics and so on.

     In different meetings we talked about undocumented migrants’ severe necessities. We stressed that they are in need of psychosocial support, migration counseling, community information, contact with authorities, shelter, language teaching and financial support.

     Afghan association had extra meetings with some active organizations in Sweden who were also present in PICUM. We made an agreement that we can guide the Afghans to contact them and together try to support those in need.

     Hereby, under each headlines you can find a reference for your specific need. These organizations can even help with limited financial support and residents in emergency and exceptional cases.
