The article by Lorenzo Di Stasi discusses the plight of foreign medical students from countries like Yemen, Zimbabwe, Ghana, and Nigeria who were studying in Ukraine before the war. These students were forced to return to Ukraine amidst the conflict to take their final Krok 2 licensing exams, facing dangerous conditions and frequent interruptions. Many failed the exam and must wait a year to retake it, incurring additional tuition fees. Unlike their Ukrainian counterparts, these students have not received the same support in European countries, with scholarships and aid being reserved for Ukrainian refugees. The European Union's Temporary Protection Directive has allowed Ukrainians to bypass traditional asylum systems, but non-Ukrainian students have been left without equal support. The article also mentions that the Ukrainian Ministry of Health is considering allowing students to take exams at designated centers outside Ukraine or return to take them domestically, but no remote exam option has been presented.

The article discusses the dire conditions faced by migrants and asylum seekers detained in the Wędrzyn detention center in Poland, referred to as the 'Polish Guantanamo.' The center, which is cut off from the outside world, currently houses 321 migrants, primarily from Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan. Detainees are treated like criminals, living in overcrowded conditions with inadequate medical care and facing discrimination. While Poland has welcomed Ukrainian refugees, it continues to trap other migrants. The European Union is criticized for its complicity and funding of these centers. The article includes personal accounts from detainees and comments from activists, lawyers, and politicians who condemn the inhumane treatment and lack of transparency at the center.

Since the large-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24, many Ukrainian women have had their first direct experience in defending their country. Kateryna Prymak, vice president of the NGO Veteranka, has been advocating for war veterans and women in the Ukrainian army since the 2013 Maidan protests. Women's roles in the military have expanded since 2016, with 31,000 women now serving, representing 15.6% of the total military personnel. Despite challenges such as misogyny and discrimination, women like Julia Mykytenko are proving to be reliable soldiers. The NGO also supports various humanitarian efforts amidst the ongoing conflict. Kateryna remains committed to her country, hoping for a victory that will allow displaced Ukrainians to return home in peace.

The article investigates the relationship between human rights violations in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, including the use of rape as a weapon of war and the killing of Italian ambassador Luca Attanasio, and the limitations of the European directive regulating the import of minerals from conflict zones. Despite the European Union's efforts to prevent such situations since 2014, the directive is criticized for being too weak, with loopholes that allow minerals linked to conflicts to enter the EU without proper checks. The legislation only covers a small part of the supply chain and excludes importers of finished products containing these minerals. The lack of transparency and inconsistent application across EU member states further weakens the regulation. The article also highlights the need for more ambitious measures to ensure all companies adequately control their supply chains.
