Listen: The mental health toll of Europe’s migration policies

Migrants in Ceuta are facing severe mental health challenges due to racism, violence, and poor living conditions. Léa Marchal, a volunteer, highlights the psychological toll of migration, noting that many migrants experience trauma and anxiety. Access to mental health care is limited and varies across EU countries, often excluding those without refugee status. Language barriers and fear of deportation further hinder their ability to seek help. Some NGOs provide support regardless of legal status, emphasizing the need for humane treatment. The ongoing struggles of migrants complicate their integration and perpetuate discrimination, impacting their mental well-being.
