Migration and Displacement
At last count, there were 34.2 million refugees, asylum-seekers and other forcibly displaced people worldwide, plus 50.8 million internally displaced people due to conflicts and disasters. Although a majority of the world’s international migrants live in high-income countries, low- and middle-income countries host about 85% of all refugees and asylum seekers, with 27% being hosted by Least Developed Countries (LDCs).
Independent of their motivation for leaving, the rights of uprooted people are inadequately protected, and those in need have insufficient access to justice. A major characteristic of large movements, especially in recent years, has been the mixed nature of forces driving people from their homes in an effort to escape persecution, violence, war and oppression, climate change, natural disasters, and desperate economic conditions.
ACT Alliance is faith and rights based, impact focused, committed to working ecumenically and interreligiously, with the communities we seek to serve and accompany at the centre of our work. Our members respond in areas where poverty and injustice occur, regardless of location.
This is a climate
People on the move are not foreigners, they are rights-holder
ACT Alliance works to ensure that the rights and dignity of refugees and people on the move are upheld and their humanity is recognized and respected.
