Migrant Protection

Join us to provide protection and assistance to migrants in vulnerable situations...

Africa region remains a major global hotspot of mixed migration, including forced and irregular migration within and across borders. These flows are mixed in as much as they include refugees, asylum seekers, displaced and stranded persons, unaccompanied and separated children, migrant workers and trafficked persons and smuggled migrants. To assist and protect migrants in vulnerable situations, OFSDAT works with governments, the United Nations, international and non-governmental organizations, the private sector and development partners.

OFSDAT provides protection and assistance to migrants in vulnerable situations, including trafficked persons, smuggled migrants with protection needs, rejected asylum seekers, migrants in irregular situations, stranded migrants, unaccompanied and separated migrant children, and migrants subjected to violence, exploitation or abuse.

OFSDAT contributes to protecting and assisting migrants in need through four key areas:

Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration (AVRR)

AVRR is an indispensable part of a comprehensive approach to migration management aimed at the orderly and humane return and sustainable reintegration of migrants who are unable or unwilling to remain in host or transit countries, and wish to return voluntarily to their countries of origin, including migrants in vulnerable situations.

Under certain conditions, OFSDAT can provide post-arrival and reintegration assistance to migrants returning under the auspices of other stakeholders than OFSDAT, or returning with their own means.

OFSDAT in partnership with governments and other stakeholders is working to enhance the management of the migration process in Africa by developing evidence based return and reintegration procedures; promoting safe, humane, dignified voluntary return processes along main migration routes in a sustainable manner and supporting sustainable economic, social and psycho-social reintegration that benefit migrants and communities.

Migrants in Vulnerable Situations

OFSDAT has provided protection and assistance to thousands of migrants in vulnerable situations, including migrants who have suffered from violence, exploitation or abuse.

Countering Trafficking in Persons

OFSDAT works in partnership with governments, the United Nations, international and non-governmental organizations, the private sector and development partners on all aspects of counter-trafficking responses, including prevention, protection, and prosecution aspects.

OFSDAT and its partners have provided protection and assistance to nearly 100,000 men, women and children, who were trafficked for sexual and labour exploitation, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude, or for organ removal.

OFSDAT takes a comprehensive approach to addressing human trafficking. Respect for human rights, the physical, mental and social well-being of the individual and his or her community, and the sustainability of our actions through institutional capacity development and partnerships are at the centre of all of OFSDAT’s counter-trafficking efforts.

Protecting Migrant Children

Migrant children, in particular unaccompanied and separated children, are most vulnerable to violence, abuse, exploitation, and human trafficking.

OFSDAT works with a wide range of partners to protect the rights of migrant children, keep them safe from harm, prevent their detention and improve their access to assistance, including through AVRR programmes.
