Founded in 2001 by a group of volunteers, RAPAR is still run on an entirely voluntary basis by local and displaced people from all over Greater Manchester, who come together from many different backgrounds, cultures, histories, experiences and challenges.
RAPAR is a frontline organisation, responding to needs that are continually presented. We challenge and act on situations with people whose human rights are being threatened. We do this through our CASEWORK. RAPAR works with people to help them to help themselves, to support them should they wish to work together rather than in isolation, to release their abilities to understand and find solutions to the situations they and others |
How and why did MARS facilitate migration control? Understanding the implication of migration and refugee studies (MARS) with the restriction of human mobility by UK state agencies This is an Oxford University PhD thesis, by Joshua Hatton, externally examined by Harvard. In it, a RAPAR founding member's role inside of migration research is described and analysed, and Hatton offers a framework to explain what happened during 2004-2006 when RAPAR refused to either accommodate or promote Home Office policy. |
Your support is vital for RAPAR to continue its work. The smallest monthly standing order makes a critical difference to how people can take action, with our support, to overcome the most challenging situations in which their human rights are threatened, and secures our ongoing ability to operate and, crucially, keep our city centre base open. If you can help with a small monthly donation, please do.
