After a two days transit, all nine survivors disembarked safely in Vibo Valencia. We are glad that we found them in time and thank them for their trust. We wish them all the best and safety for their future. No one is free until everyone is free.

The crew embarked all survivors on Sea Punk 1 and kept patrolling until MRCC Rome assigned Vibo Valencia as Port of Safety - which is a two days transit away! On board everyone got a medical check up, food, a shower, and some much needed rest. The survivors told that they were at sea for two days.

Part of our crew was woken up around 5.00 a.m. by crew members on lookout duty. By the time everyone was on deck, they could already see the rubber boat in distress. The bridge informed the respective authorities and our RHIB crew assessed the boat with our RHIB Molly.

Sea Punk I rescues nine people out of an unseaworthy rubber boat in distress at sea! A small rubber boat, losing air on one side, with 9 people on board drifting - seven of them unaccompanied minors. This is the situation our crew encountered yesterday. Everything happened very quickly.

We will never get used to these ghost boats, sad witnesses of Europe’s racist border regime. People try to cross the Mediterranean on un-seaworthy boats like this one in the picture here, everyday. When our crew found this empty boat - they had already spent 40 hours of searching.

(German below) Sea Punk I is operational again! After intensive weeks of training, our crew has left port in Augusta and is patroulling the area of operation for people in distress at sea. We do so because we fight for freedom of movement and equal human rights no matter where you are from.

White text: "Many stateless people lack legal status due to discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion and gender in nationality laws. This is why eliminating such discrimination is one of the key actions governments must take to end statelessness."

It is estimated that 4.4 million people are officially stateless, but the true figure is likely to be much higher. People become stateless through circumstances beyond their control, such as discrimination in nationality laws, gaps in birth registration, forced displacement and

White text: "According to UNHCR, 4.4 million people are stateless or of undetermined nationality. However, the lack of accurate data and the difficulty of counting people without a legal identity means the true figure is widely believed to be much higher."

A plain red textured background with white and bold text: "People can become stateless through circumstances beyond their control, which leaves them with no nationality or official identity, and they are marginalised and disenfranchised as a result. Statelessness restricts the lives and opportunities of millions of people around the world."

Das legale Einsperren von Kindern, fehlender Schutz und die Möglichkeit, auch sie schneller abzulehnen, ist eine politische Entscheidung! Kinder werden wissentlich und absichtlich entrechtet.

This means that they are focusing on fewer studies and ignoring work that could support kinder, rights-based alternatives.

The EU is creating a border complex where research is driven by security concerns and the need to develop tools for repression. The report, "Border Labs", by Stop Wapenhandel and the Transnational Institute, shows how universities are being drawn further into military and security research.

Studies show that they face an increased risk of depression, anxiety, PTSD, and suicidal thoughts. A Mother’s Day that ignores this brutal reality misses the point. True solidarity means fighting for the rights of ALL mothers.

What does it mean to be a mother on the move? To fight not only for your own life but also for that of your children? When we draw attention to mothers’ rights, needs, work and care work on Mother’s Day, we must not forget mothers who have become refugees above all.
