Pauline Zapke (she/her)

Pauline’s passions intersect across migration, climate justice, and feminist organising. Her main thematic focuses include border externalisation policies by the EU, the role of the border control agency Frontex, and activating civil society’s solidarity. As part of Balkan Brücke, Pauline advocates against the human rights abuses along the so-called Balkan route, fosters connections between different civil society groups, and offers direct support to local communities. During her academic journey, she has led tutorials and conducted research on the human rights consequences of EU externalisation policies in Serbia.
