Article Abstract
Migration from Africa is a phenomenon intrinsically linked to the history of Spain that has shaped societies and cultures over the centuries, transforming the demographic and social composition of the country. Particularly since the second half of the 20th century, Spain has progressively become a destination country for immigrants from various parts of the African continent and, thus, various political actions have taken place to control these migratory flows. However, border blockades, difficulties in boarding from the country of origin or the danger of sea routes have led to a notable diversification of the migratory routes followed to reach European soil through the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.

Reframing the "Migration Crisis" as a Humanitarian and Public Health Emergency.

The current narrative of a "migration crisis" has so severely misdirected the understanding of the fundamental human safety, security, and health challenges that confront migrants, that we feel compelled to reframe the issue as a public health and humanitarian emergency. By looking at migrants as an economic threat or as an "invasion" that threatens the American way of life," it becomes difficult to view their humanity as vulnerable individuals who confront a host of challenges at the border, including abuse, dehumanization, and incarceration. The forced migration of thousands of individuals and families who flee their countries of origin to escape violence and insecurity to then be demonized and retraumatized at the border is a public health emergency.
