In the context of the preparation of the migration village during the World Social Forum in August 2026 in Cotonou a brochure was produced in English and French versions to introduce CommemorActions to a wider public. The booklet was presented during the panels on death and disappearances by active family members from this transnational network.

\u201eRefugees and migrants are forced to risk their lives crossing the sea, the desert or other border areas, because they cannot take safe routes due to restrictive visa regimes. In this context, tens of thousands of people have died and continue to die at the borders of the European Union.
Relatives of the victims, survivors and supporters established the transnational CommemorAction network in 2020. Families of victims of racist police and state violence have also joined the CommemorAction network. We remember those who have died and gone missing, we pay tribute to them, and we take action and protest against the conditions and policies responsible for these deaths.
In this booklet, we trace some of the key stages in the development of this transnational network. We present several accounts drawn from CommemorAction\u2019s transnational meetings organised over the past six years. We have also compiled a number of statements and testimonies from relatives who have lost loved ones and are now actively involved in the CommemorAction network.
We hope that this collection of texts and the numerous photographs will provide an insight into the CommemorAction process and offer an initial understanding of it. Of course, this small booklet remains fragmentary. It does not in any way claim to be exhaustive; it is merely an overview of the many activities and efforts undertaken to pay tribute to those who have died or gone missing and to take action against the deadly migration regime.
In solidarity with all those who have died or gone missing as a result of state violence along migration routes and in our neighbourhoods!\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
