Human Trafficking and Risky Migration Routes Data Collection: A Case Study From Kenya

NGO, reports

In August, 2019, Stop the Traffik Kenya (STTK) and Freedom Collaborative (FC), a project operated by Liberty Shared, launched a data collection effort with civil society organisations (CSOs) in Kenya to report known human trafficking and high-risk migration routes based on their work with survivors and at-risk populations. Data was gathered from partners over the course of one month to demonstrate how much knowledge can be made available when each organisation is sharing their individual data.

World Migration Report 2020

reports, U.N.

IOM’s responsibility to provide an objective and balanced account of migration globally has never been more important. Not only is the political salience of migration high, and frequently fevered, but the capacity for rapidly disseminating disinformation to influence the public discourse has expanded. Twenty years ago, IOM published the first World Migration Report with the stated aim of providing an authoritative account of migration trends and issues worldwide. With the initial report published in 2000, the series has quickly become established as IOM’s flagship publication. The early World Migration Reports were framed around specific themes. They provided deep dives into topics such as labour mobility, migrant well-being and communication on migration. But, with time, there was a sense that the broader landscape and complexity of migration issues was being neglected.

NON-PUNISHMENT OF VICTIMS OF TRAFFICKING

reports, U.N.

Las infracciones de los derechos humanos son a la vez causa y consecuencia de la trata de personas. Por lo tanto, es indispensable que la protección de todos los derechos humanos ocupe un lugar central en las medidas que se adopten para prevenir esa trata y ponerle término. Las medidas para combatir la trata de personas no deben redundar en desmedro de sus derechos humanos y su dignidad y, en particular, de los derechos de quienes han sido víctimas de ella, los migrantes, las personas desplazadas internamente, los refugiados y quienes soliciten asilo.

CONFRONTING THE GLOBAL FORCED MIGRATION CRISIS

NGO, reports

The size and scope of the global forced migration crisis are unprecedented. Almost 66 million people worldwide have been forced from home by conflict. If recent trends continue, this figure could increase to between 180 and 320 million people by 2030. This global crisis already poses serious challenges to economic growth and risks to stability and national security, as well as an enormous human toll affecting tens of millions of people. These issues are on track to get worse; without significant course correction soon, the forced migra- tion issues confronted today will seem sim- ple decades from now.
