Reshaping Attention and Inclusion Strategies for Distinctively vulnerable people among the forcibly displaced
2019
Forced Migration is a migratory movement which, although the drivers can be diverse, involves force, compulsion, or coercion. Almost 80 million people around the world have been so far forced to flee their homes. Forced displacement can be due to armed conflicts, terrorism and persecution of minorities because of race, religion or sexual orientation. It can put people like women, children, the elderly and disabled at great risk. Most of the current assistance programs and strategies for forced migrants are too general and end up not considering the specific needs and challenges faced by some of these vulnerable migrants. RAISD strongly believes that is the context that makes migrants vulnerable. That’s why it developed an innovative tool called the Vulnerability Context. In other words, RAISD wants to identify specific migration settings to better help FDP both in transit and host countries. The main working hypothesis in the project is that effective and appropriate strategies of attention and inclusion to Vulnerable Groups of Forcibly Displaced People (FDP) need to be tailored to their specific Vulnerability Context (VC). Defining that context and what works in it can only be achieved through the actual participation of the involved actors.
