refugee and migrant crisis

In an joint statement Oxfam and 10 other NGOs are cautioning against a strong shift of Europe's development programming towards migration management.

Worldwide, more than 65 million people have fled conflict, violence and persecution. Millions more are driven from their homes by disasters, drought and inequality. This paper tells the stories of some of those millions of people.

Europe is facing a series of crises that are questioning its future and call for new solutions. This working paper of 177 organisations looks at responses to the multiple crises Europe is facing, and how to reconnect to citizens and regain their trust.

The disappointing outcome document for the UN Summit on Refugees and Migrants has today been adopted as a UNGA Resolution. It falls far short of what is needed to address the global displacement crisis or protect people on the move.

With their response to migration, the European Union and its member states risk further undermining  their credibility and authority in the defence of human rights, more than 120 NGOs have warned.

The European Union is set to open a dark chapter in its history unless it rejects the European Commission’s proposal on migration, a coalition of more than 120 NGOs warns.
