Life without a passport
A life without a passport – that is the result when refugees are not issued a passport by either their country of origin or Austria. Those affected can live and work in Austria, but are not allowed to cross national borders. An example of this is the young Afghan catering worker Mojtaba Jafari, who is fighting to obtain a foreigner’s passport with the support of the Tyrolean social worker Petra Falkner. He is not an isolated case. The issue is also of concern to the Constitutional Court. Sabina Zwitter reports.

Looking for racism-sensitive therapy
Marginalized groups, including people with a migration background, members of ethnic minorities and people of color, often suffer particularly from mental illnesses. Structural discrimination in education and work affects the psyche at an early stage and is reinforced by everyday racism. But in Austrian therapy practices, experiences of discrimination are often still overlooked or even denied. How does racism affect mental health and why is there a lack of a racism-critical perspective in psychotherapy? Adriana Jurić spoke to a person affected about her therapy experiences and to experts about the importance of racism-sensitive psychotherapy.
A place called anger
The feeling of anger is destructive – but it can also have a liberating effect. However, anger is not granted equally to all people in Austria, states the author and doctor of philosophy Amani Abuzahra in her latest book “A Place Called Anger”. Marginalized people often find it difficult to express their emotions publicly because society would rather see them “nice and grateful,” says the author. A report by Mariella Kogler.
