The power of words must not be underestimated. Language is inherently political and the language used to describe refugees and migrants is highly politicised. How these migrants are labelled has an important impact on their lives in their country of origin as much as in the host country. Bengladesh Prime Minister asserted earlier this year that the people leaving his country were either "mentally sick" or "fortune seekers". This kind of assertion reinforces the guiltiness of migrants, without questionning the politics in place in their home country that made them leave. The currently vocabulary used to describe migrants is today nothing but dehumanizing which encourage racism and ultimately violence.
