Program Overview
Migrants and migrant children around the world are subject to violations of human rights, discrimination, and exploitation. According to the OHCHR “Violations of economic, social and cultural rights are daily experiences for countless migrants who are denied access to public health care, adequate housing and essential social security.” As members of the NGO Committee on Migration in New York and participants in the NGO Consultations on Refugees in Geneva, UNANIMA works for the recognition and protection of the rights of all migrants. We seek to support social integration and decent work for all, and to fight forced migration and human trafficking throughout the world.

Global Forum on Migration and Development
The NGO committee on Migration has been gearing up for the annual Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD), which will be held in Geneva, Switzerland this year, December 1 – 2. Since its first forum in 2007, the GFMD has been promoting effective partnerships between governments, international organizations, and civil society through informal dialogues.
Migration Profiles
Kathie Uhler attended a UNITAR Workshop on Migration Profiles representing UNANIMA International on 30 June 2011. This work builds on the UNANIMA involvement in the Global Forum on Migration and Development that was held in Puerto Vallarta (Mexico) late last year. The Migration profiles represent a sustained, government owned, process of data gathering to evaluate the impact of migration policies and programs on development strategies. In the course of the session details about efforts in Argentina, Moldova and Ghana were discussed in detail.
