9 out of 10 migrants into Greece are seeking refuge from violence. I'm sure the vast majority of them would prefer to live in their own countries under safer conditions.

Shall we agree to call them ‘people’?!

Banksy Welcome Mat, by tab1 on Mar 2, 2021 14:22:47 GMT 1, They really should hire a quality assurance manager. It's annoying to pay 500 Euro of hard earned money for a poorly stitched mat. It's not rocket science, right? In addition, it'd be a shame if they'd apply dirt manually as it clearly would devalue the piece due to the lack of authenticity. Knowing someone might have drown in this very jacked which has been used for my welcome mat is heartbreaking and as the welcome mat is a brilliant conversation starter at dinner parties, it wouldn't feel right to tell my guests the background story, knowing the dirt is fake. It just would't feel right. ? Are they running Labour camps? the project is giving opportunities to women that may not necessarily have the required skills before joining the project so they are gaining new skills which they benefit from and can use when out of the camp to gain employment. With your line of thinking many women would be turned away and unable to gain new skills or earn the wages to purchase extra food/items for their children. it is also helping many women’s mental health by giving them structure and companionship, can not imagine living in such conditions in the camp and the mental and social isolations that may occur although the camp may look overcrowded, there are issues of language barriers, social systems and barriers from homelands that have an impact on mental health unseen to outsiders. The appeal is the product is organic, authentic and each piece is individually unique with the hand stitching and the individuals craft applied to the construction rather than a manufactured piece off the production line all identical. The choice is up to the individual to purchase or not, plenty of others waiting for the opportunity to purchase, the main point is the money going towards the refugees to benefit their lives in a positive way. When these first came out I thought the object was insensitive as potentially the life jackets used may have been worn by individuals that may have drowned then to use on a mat to wipe your feet, as many of the refugees homelands the soles of your feet are seen as dirty and an insult, the idea of the mat to wipe dirty feet on someone’s soul.as it is a art piece subjective meanings can be interpreted differently but mostly seen here the value is the appeal

Oops - it did cross my mind - apologies phischa No worries, probably not the best idea to try sarcasm in a foreign lagnguage. I just found the discussion about dirt being "real" or applied pretty inappropriate.

The correct term is, in the vast majority of cases, refugee.
It is well documented that very, very many of these women have been forced from their homes to flee from conflict and persecution. The UNHCR do not consider that a choice, but rather a consequence of being in fear for their lives. This distinction means they are therefore classed as refugees and not immigrants.
For further info, I regularly show my daughter pictures of real life unicorns on Google Images.
