  • 🎙️Gaza and the Media: Who Decides What Matters?

    🎙️Gaza and the Media: Who Decides What Matters?
    2025/07/07
    In this episode, we look at how the international media have covered the conflict in Gaza — and how narrative itself becomes a tool of power.
    We examine the differences between two broadcasters in their reporting of violence, humanitarian crises, and the lives affected, through the lenses of framing theory, the propaganda model, and an anti-colonial perspective.
    We will examine how language, omissions, and rhetorical techniques, such as card stacking and labelling, build consensus and silence, legitimise injustice, and determine which lives matter.

    🎧 At the end of the episode, we preview the following topic: the devastating impact of Shell’s oil spills in the Niger Delta. Who pays the price of profit?

    🎧 Host: Pierluisa Maligno What Rights? – Because rights are not negotiated, they are defended.

  • 🎙️Beyond the Border: The Italy-Albania Protocol and the Suspension of Rights

    🎙️Beyond the Border: The Italy-Albania Protocol and the Suspension of Rights
    2025/07/03
    What happens when borders move, but rights remain unchanged? In this episode, Pierluisa Maligno analyses the controversial Italy-Albania Protocol, signed by the Meloni government to manage migrants rescued at sea. An agreement that moves reception outside of Europe's borders, but brings with it profound implications on colonialism, racism, legality and human rights.
    🎙️ Topics covered:
    • What is the Italy-Albania Protocol, and how does it work
    • The push-pull theory applied to sea migration.
    • Externalisation of borders: a new form of colonialism?
    • The role of media narrative and the spectacularization of rescues
    • The silence of the institutions and the action of the Italian judiciary
    • Why MEPs contest it
    • The legal and humanitarian risks reported by Amnesty International

    🎧 Host: Pierluisa Maligno What Rights? – Because rights are not negotiated, they are defended.

    🎙️ Listen to the episode to discover how the Albania Protocol becomes a symbol of an increasingly widespread model: externalising borders to dehumanise people.

  • 🎙️ “Are You Settled?” – When Dignity Becomes a Condition and Not a Right

    🎙️ “Are You Settled?” – When Dignity Becomes a Condition and Not a Right
    2025/06/17
    What does it mean to be “settled”?

    In this episode, we unpack the UK’s 2025 Immigration White Paper and ask:
    Is migration being reduced—or are rights being restricted?
    From public policy to personal story, from statistics to silence, this is a deep dive into the politics of belonging.

    We open with an update from our first episode on Italy’s failed citizenship referendum, where abstention became a form of privilege. And we close with a preview of our next episode: the Italy–Albania Protocol and the politics of externalised borders.

  • What Rights Episode 1

    What Rights Episode 1
    2025/06/04
    The first episode of What Rights starts from home: Italy.

    We discuss the referendum of 8 and 9 June, focusing on fundamental issues such as the right to work and citizenship — and how the government is attempting to undermine its success, exploiting the quorum and media silence.

    This is not just an Italian problem but a textbook case of how rights are circumvented, neutralized or emptied with the very tools of democracy.

    If you are interested in understanding what is really happening and why you should care, you are in the right place.

    🎓 With a background in Social Sciences, I decided to combine academic skills and critical spirit to offer a deeper (and often uncomfortable) reading of what is happening in the world.

    🎧 What Rights – because every right begins with an uncomfortable question.
