Graduate Journal of Social Science, Volume 15, Issue 1 2017b). Between 2016 and 2017 more than six people died in the Moria camp. Self-harm and suicide attempts there have become routine. Rapes and sexual violence are routinised too. Meanwhile, border crossers are forced into survival sex inside and outside the camp, in order to financially survive. In the aftermath of the refugee crisis, the EU’s “humanitarian” response at the borders which peaked after the EU-Turkey Statement - turned the everyday life of the thousands of border crossers into a living hell. Border crossers fleeing in order to seek international protection are trapped in a coercive, violent existence. Due to the coerced border controls on land and at sea, and the arbitrary push-backs and deportations, border crossers cannot easily reach Europe. The ones who manage to come are “victims” of intersectional forms of everyday violence. Moria camp and more broadly the Prison Island have become an immense graveyard of the dead, the social dead, and the “living-dead” (ScheperHughes & Bourgois, 2004). By paraphrasing Sandro Mezzandra and Brett Neilson (2013, p. 171), the dream of an EU humanitarian approach to border security is a dream and an insatiable desire of the EU policymakers. However, their dream or vision is a horrifying and lurid nightmare for the thousands of border crossers. References Agamben, G. (2005). State of Exception. The University of Chicago Press.
