Feminist Migration Policy Agenda (FMPA)
The Feminist Migration Policy Agenda is a movement-building and advocacy tool that advances bottom-up, feminist, rights-based migration policies—and provides a roadmap for how to organize, campaign, and win them.
The report is available in English, French and Spanish and can be viewed and downloaded by clicking the links below. The report will also soon be available in Arabic.
Why This Work Matters—Now
The FMPA emerges from over a decade of feminist migration analysis and advocacy, grounded in extensive input from WIMN members, allies, and grassroots organizations. Beginning in 2023, WIMN gathered policy positions across the network, expanded them with priorities developed by eight LIGA organizations, and deepened the process through the 2024 Feminist Forum on Migration & Displacement and additional workshops at the AWID Forum.
This foundation is especially critical now, as global political and economic shifts weaken multilateral commitments, shrink development funding, and accelerate anti-migrant policies. In this context, the FMPA provides a concrete, bottom-up strategy rooted in migrant priorities—equipping movements and allies with the tools needed to shape policy from the grassroots to the global level.
What We Do
The FMPA brings together participatory research, policy development, and strategic organizing to build a unified feminist migration platform rooted in the priorities of migrant communities. Core activities include:
- Participatory input-gathering through a two-year consultation process with diverse migrant communities, sectors, and grassroots groups
- Shaping policy through a comprehensive report (to be launched March 2026) outlining bottom-up recommendations
- Building a roadmap for using the report in organizing, campaigning, and influencing national and international policy spaces
Together, these efforts create concrete tools for advancing intersectional, bottom-up feminist migration policy—affirming the rights of migrants, women, racialized communities, LGBTQI+ people, workers, and climate-affected populations, and challenging the structures that undermine these rights.
Impact
The FMPA reflects one of the movement’s most ambitious participatory processes to date:
- 30 organizations interviewed in 2023
- Major convenings, including the 2024 Feminist Forum on Migration & Displacement in Bangkok
- Multiple member consultations across regions and sectors
- Full policy report to be published March 2025
This groundwork is shaping a shared political vision and strengthening collective advocacy across the feminist migration movement.

What’s Next
Following the report’s release, WIMN will build a comprehensive rollout roadmap – including policy notes, briefing documents, national advocacy checklists, and a communications initiative—connected to key local, regional, and global advocacy opportunities.
Take Action
Allies and members are encouraged to adopt elements of the agenda in their own policy and advocacy work, and to connect with WIMN to support the implementation and expansion of this shared platform.
