Project presentation
In France, more than 100 waiting zones receive each year foreign individuals who are denied entry to the territory. These detention facilities, often opaque and unsuitable, particularly expose women to violations of their rights and to degrading conditions. Since 2019, Anafé has been working to ensure the defense of and access to rights for women held in these zones, notably at Roissy and Orly. The project includes legal counseling sessions, personalized support, training for field actors, as well as advocacy work based on the collection of data and testimonies. The goal is to recognize and protect the fundamental rights of foreign women held in these spaces of deprivation of liberty.
