The project began with a group of students from the Escola Superior de Educação do Porto and resulted in an exhibition, "Us and Them", which will also be inaugurated on Tuesday at the Arquivo Municipal da Póvoa de Varzim.
At the end of the school project, the students wanted to "do something more to change the situation" and challenged Raul Manarte, the author of the portraits in the exhibition, to associate the collective of which he is a part, Humans Before Borders.
This interaction resulted in a pilot project, which also includes a group of migrants and refugees living in Portugal, from Cape Verde, Ghana, Palestine, Syria and Ukraine and portrayed in the exhibition.
In a statement, the authors justify the initiative as a response to the "increasing number of occurrences of tension, violence and negligence [against migrants and refugees] that have been occurring in the country".
The Balcão de Denúncia pilot project, designed for six months (but which, if it gets support by the end of that period, will continue) aims to be "a kind of public service", making a "permanent data exhibition" resulting from complaints from migrants and refugees, Raul Manarte explained to Lusa.
Through the platform, complainants will be able to freely report what happened and decide whether to do so anonymously.
At the same time, they will have to provide some data, which will generate quantitative statistics, namely on the entities or spaces involved and the type of occurrences (lack of information, inaccessibility of services, harassment, violence, etc.).
With this, it will be possible to "analyse the patterns", in order to promote "a more accurate view of the difficulties that the migrant and refugee population experiences in Portugal", says Raul Manarte.
The authors of the project assume "two clear objectives", on the one hand "to compile the complaints received and transform them into public data" -- namely by disseminating them to the media and on social networks -- and, at the same time, to use this data in campaigns, "pressuring structures or decision-makers to take concrete steps to reduce or eradicate the occurrences verified".
