John McDonnell MP is hosting the launch of the Refugee Project, a coalition of groups documenting the links between global economics and enforced migration.
Wednesday 16 June 2004, 7.00pm
Grand Committee Room, House of Commons, Westminster, London SW1A 0AA
Speakers include:
- Liz Fekete, Deputy Director Institute of Race Relations

- Hannah Griffiths, Friends of the Earth

- Jean Lambert, Green Party MEP

The Refugee project is a coalition of environmental, human rights and development groups which have been working for the past two years to document such links and provide a platform where refugees can voice their own histories. This work has been brought together in a book, Listen to the Refugee’s Story: how UK foreign investment creates refugees and asylum seekers, which highlights the broad links between enforced migration and global economic processes.
