Humans have and always will migrate. But some risk being separated from their families or going missing.
Some risk abuse, detention or being returned to dangerous places.
How can we reduce their suffering and ensure they get the help and protection they deserve? #MigrantsDay

Migration is not a crime.
Detaining migrants should remain a measure of last resort: liberty should be the norm. States should commit to ending child detention and separating migrant families.
Not only is this harmful for individuals, it’s costly for societies.

Some migrants are fleeing countries where they risk death, torture, inhuman and degrading treatment, or other irreparable harm.
People cannot be returned to where such risks exist.
States must respect the principle of non-refoulement. It is a question of life and death.

Tens of thousands of people go missing while migrating.
Helping families stay in touch along migratory routes and stepping up efforts in identifying dead migrants are just two ways we can help prevent the pain of not knowing what has happened to their loved ones.

Migrants may be disproportionately affected by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It is important that states develop inclusive responses that address the specific needs of migrants, including those living in camps and other collective sites.

We work with vulnerable migrants globally. We visit immigration detention facilities, help give answers to families of missing migrants, and identify those who don’t survive.
Let’s remember the humans taking each journey. #MigrantsDay
