This joint statement, prepared through the NGO Committee on Migration, a coalition advancing the human rights and dignity of migrants through rights-based governance, meaningful participation, and international cooperation, highlights the rights, protection, and empowerment of girls and women in migration contexts. It calls on Member States to advance gender equality by addressing the challenges faced by migrant women and girls, including discrimination, exploitation, gender-based violence, and climate-related displacement. Through a rights-based and inclusive approach, the statement emphasizes the importance of ensuring their safety, dignity, access to decent work and essential services, and meaningful participation in decisions that affect their lives.
