Paragraph
The human rights of migrants on a 2035 agenda for facilitating human mobility 2017, para. 28
- Paragraph text
- Many factors influence the decisions of migrants as to why, when, to where and how they want to migrate. The main push factors are poverty, violence, discrimination and poor governance. The main pull factors are official or unacknowledged labour needs and family reunification. Public discussion about these factors is, on the whole, extremely shallow, often constituting nothing more than scaremongering about “benefit scroungers” and migrants “stealing jobs”.

While OHCHR has the primary responsibility for human rights, ILO and UNHCR also have responsibilities in areas of human rights, and the human rights of migrants should also be mainstreamed in the work of all the other member agencies of the Group. In this respect, the Special Rapporteur notes with appreciation that the Global Migration Group recently established a working group on migration, human rights and gender.

Irregular migration and criminalization of migrants, protection of children in the migration process and the right to housing and health of migrants 2011, para. 32

- The protection of the child during migration demanded the consideration of issues related to irregular migration, since they affected the child's enjoyment of human rights. The protection of children during migration necessarily implied a gender dimension, since women and girls accounted for almost half of international migrants, and girls migrating either on their own or accompanied are vulnerable to sexual violence and gender-based human rights violations.
