Promoting safe migration (IOM)

Ensuring safe, orderly and regular migration requires effective implementation of policies and systems, access to regular channels for migration, well-administered visa and entry schemes, and effective identity management practices. Maintaining the integrity of migration and mobility schemes requires the ability to detect irregular migration and prohibit illegal crossborder activity, such as, in particular, trafficking in persons, smuggling of migrants and other relevant criminal activities. It also requires the ability to identify and properly address the particular needs of all migrants potentially crossing borders and understand the underlying gender and power dynamics that may contribute to irregular migration and illegal cross-border activity.
