WIMN at IMRF 2026

Last week, we joined feminist advocates, migrant leaders, civil society partners, UN agencies, and member states to push for gender-responsive migration governance grounded in rights, dignity, and justice. The endorsement of our Feminist Manifesto by 140+ organizations, the launch of the Spotlight Report on Global Migration, the Women’s Caucus, and participation in IMRF roundtables all contributed to a powerful and urgent collective push for migrant rights and gender justice.

At a time of growing backlash against migrant rights and gender justice, we remain committed to building collective solidarity and advancing rights-based migration governance for all people on the move.

Thank you to everyone who organized, spoke, mobilized, and stood with us throughout IMRF 2026. The work continues.

“Protection that is selective is not protection: it is exclusion.”

Irem Arf, serving as Civil Society Rapporteur at the IMRF, called for migration governance grounded in human rights, labor protections, and meaningful inclusion. Speaking on behalf of trade unions, migrant-led organizations, youth groups, academics, and diaspora communities, she stressed that all migrants, regardless of status, deserve equal protection, decent work, and access to justice. She also urged governments to move away from exploitative migration systems and toward rights-based, cooperative solutions that address the root causes of displacement, including conflict, inequality, and climate change.

“When gender-responsive protections are eroded, the risks of labor exploitation, gender-based violence, and human rights violations increase exponentially.”

At the #imrf2026 , Paola Cyment, Policy and Advocacy Lead of WIMN, called on governments and UN agencies to defend the gender-responsive commitments of the Global Compact for Migration amid growing global backlash against women’s rights and inclusion.

She emphasized that protecting migrant women and gender-diverse people requires sustained political leadership, accountability, and meaningful participation from civil society.
