IOM - UN Migration
Internationale Angelegenheiten
Promoting safe, regular and dignified migration since 1951.
Info
Established in 1951, the International Organization for Migration is the leading intergovernmental organization in the field of migration and is committed to the principle that humane and orderly migration benefits migrants and society. IOM works with its partners in the international community to assist in meeting the growing operational challenges of migration, advance understanding of migration issues, encourage social and economic development through migration and uphold the well-being and human rights of migrants. More people are on the move today than at any other time in recorded history: 1 billion people – comprising a seventh of humanity. A variety of elements – not least the information and communications revolutions – contribute to the movement of people on such a large scale. The forces driving migration as a priority issue are: climate change, natural and manmade catastrophes, conflict, the demographic trends of an ageing industrialized population, an exponentially expanding jobless youth population in the developing world and widening North–South social and economic disparities.

"On this journey, no one cares if you live or die." Refugees and migrants endure extreme violence, human rights violations, and exploitation not just at sea, but also on land routes across #Africa towards the #Mediterranean. More people cross the Sahara Desert than the Mediterranean Sea, yet the dangers on these land routes are less documented. Together with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency and the Mixed Migration Centre (MMC), IOM outlines the horrors faced by people on the move and the needed protection responses, in this new report.
