“My story is a migration story.”
IOM’s new Global Goodwill Ambassador America Ferrera shares her story and how it fuels her passion to support migrants.
Together, we will ensure that every migrant is treated with equal respect and dignity.
Our Director, @ianmkysel, intervened today at @UNmigration’s #IDMigration24 on our Migrant Rights Database findings on pathways to ensure the right to family unity, the right to life at borders & regularization of migrants. You can explore our data at migrantrights.info!
Glad to be joining the discussions at #IDMigration24 and intervening about @cornellMRI’s work today @UN.

So proud to have worked with @_JustinGest for the past 10+ years on this project and grateful to @sociopublico and @fedfragapane for making our data come to life online with support from @SwissMFA and @CornellMig.
NEW: Migrant Rights Database expansion LIVE just in time for @UNmigration #IDMigration24! Check out migrantrights.info for a visualization of our 45-country study covering ~75% of the world's migrants & showing protection/implementation of migrant rights in 2020 & 2023!
Given #IDMigration24's focus on pathways, check out the latest @CornellMRI research on maintaining the right to family unity across international borders. We find that 40 of the 45 countries we studied provide a legal avenue for family reunification. migrantrightsinitiative.org/….

Excellent thread on today's High Court decision in #ASF17 and its ramifications, by @KaldorCentre's @annactalbot
#ASF17 handed down today, here are a few thoughts: there were two judgments, one by 6 judges, and one by Edelman alone. They all agreed that ASF17's claim to be released from immigration detention should be dismissed, but Edelman J's reasons were very nuanced

Listen to our brave and resilient client, Fahimeh, share her experience with family separation. My students helped tell her story to the Supreme Court and are working to reunite her with her spouse!
