Abstract:
The article reflects on the processes of entry into reception systems through the life story of Hayat, a female migrant who arrived irregularly from Morocco and landed in reception after a long series of vicissitudes. What happens on the threshold between marginality, migration and the political and legal devices of international protection questions the conceptualisations of female bodies, of structural, physical and symbolic violence in the experiences of migrant women, but also the functioning of the different services present in a territory and their levels of intervention. Alliances between formal and informal actors, bonds of friendship, women's solidarity, sensitivities born out of activism for migrants' rights: outside the cone of light of institutions and formal educational work, Hayat's story is configured as a case study that can help those who work in reception to critically reflect on their own practices and on the value of popular schools of Italian in community work.
