Metadata for Local Responses to Precarious Migrants: Frames, Strategies and Evolving Practices in Europe, 2021-2022

This initiative focused on identifying and improving local strategies to counteract the exclusion of migrants with precarious residential statuses from essential services. It delved into the difficulties encountered by migrants, with a special focus on women's unique experiences, the availability of services like healthcare and shelter in certain cities, and the reasons behind these provisions. Through case studies conducted in Cardiff, Frankfurt, and Vienna, in collaboration with city councils and stakeholder consultations, the initiative examined various service delivery methods within different legal environments, highlighting the cooperation between public services and civil society. Interviews were conducted with policy makers and service providers, and NGOs regarding the experiences of migrants with precarious status. A total of 21 interviews were recorded with experts in Wales, in Cardiff in particular. To reach these experts, we partnered with the city of Cardiff and were granted access to various local authorities and NGOs. The data cannot be shared due to the protocols used.
