Abstract
The precariousness of migrants in Portugal has been increasing, with difficulties in accessing documentation and therefore basic rights such as health, housing, education and work. In this seminar, we invited some representatives of institutions that work directly with migrants to talk to us from the ground about the realities experienced by these people. We propose a dialogue with the institutions about the importance of public policies for immigration and the impact of funding projects that can bring a more dignified life to migrants in the Portuguese context.
