Ep 23: Amsterdam's most undocumented famous person. With activist Hidaya Nampiima (English).

De Verbranders

Our guest today is Hidaya Nampiima, co-founder and spokesperson of Amsterdam City Rights, an organisation of people living in Amsterdam with and without the right papers. What is Amsterdam like if you don’t have a BSN number? When you are shut out from healthcare, schooling, housing, education, legal work, and political participation? Hidaya talks about becoming undocumented and being pushed onto the streets, to then pick up her pieces and find her voice by challenging injustice. There is no such thing as being undocumented, she explains. It’s the system that creates undocumented people.
