Ten years after the Calais 'Jungle' was dismantled: what has changed for migrants
This October marks 10 years since French police dismantled the Calais migrant camp known as the 'Jungle'. A France 24 programme looks at what has changed for migrants since, including the risks faced by women.
Ten years have passed this October since French police dismantled the notorious migrant camp known as the Calais "Jungle". Calais is a city in northern France. The international news channel France 24 is using the anniversary in its programme "The 51 Percent" to look at how migrants' circumstances in Europe have changed over the decade.
In the episode published on 16 October, France 24 journalist Claire Paccalin returns to the Calais region. Her aim is to find out what has changed for migrants over the past ten years.
She joins presenter Annette Young and Dr Marissa Quie of Cambridge University to discuss the situation. The conversation covers migration routes and the growing role that migration plays in European political debate.
Focus on women
The title of the episode indicates that it deals with the risks women migrants face in Europe. The programme description does not give specific figures or examples of those risks.
The episode runs for just under 13 minutes and is available as a video on the France 24 website.
