From the intensification of militarized border regimes in the Americas to the systematic exclusion of migrant workers from social protection in the Gulf; from the escalating climate-displacement in the Pacific to the targeted criminalization of humanitarian aid in conflict zones—the human rights of migrants are under an unprecedented, structural assault. Half of those navigating these precarious systems are women and gender-diverse people who face specific forms of labor exploitation and gender-based violence.
Take action today!
We are enlisting a global front of migrants, activists, and allies to inform governments that we are watching—and that we will hold them accountable to international labor standards and human rights treaties.
Don’t forget to endorse the manifesto.
A backgrounder and the Manifesto are available as PDFs in English, French, Spanish and Arabic on the Manifesto page.
Please share this call within your networks. Let us arrive at the IMRF not as passive observers, but as a unified force for a just, dignified, and feminist future for all people on the move.
