OBJECTIVE 7 - REDUCE VULNERABILITIES
Address and reduce vulnerabilities in migration
Migrants are often the victims of human rights violations throughout their migratory journeys, from losing their lives, human trafficking, lack of adequate protection and assistance measures, being criminalized and arbitrarily detained, barriers in their access to health, justice and education, to name a few. They are also target of xenophobic and discriminatory acts due to their nationality, national origin, economic status, and/or ethnicity.
Vulnerable and unequal situations (including human rights violations) lead persons to leave their country of origin and migrate out of need, to survive and/or to find better life opportunities elsewhere. They may also affect the journey of these individuals during transit and/or at destination and can increase inequalities. No person is inherently vulnerable, instead, situational and personal circumstances can put a person into vulnerable situations.
