Partnerships and cooperation between countries and other stakeholders on the six key themes of the 2020 GFMD<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The third Regional Consultation held this year as part of the GFMD 2020 Regional Meetings involved the Asia Pacific<\/strong> region<\/strong> and it took place under the aegis of the Bali Process,<\/strong> a major Regional Consultative Process focused on combating people smuggling, trafficking in persons and transnational crime in the region. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In January, the Summit will have the outcomes of all six consultations as background documents, thanks to the work of a group of Thematic Leads<\/strong>, experts selected to follow the proceedings of the Regional Meetings, ensure coherence between regions and assist in the preparation of the Summit Roundtables.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each Thematic Lead anchors one theme and the Bali Process consultations focused discussions on three key thematic areas<\/strong>: exploring means of leveraging technology to empower migrants; addressing gaps in migrant protection; and issues relating to irregular migration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPartnership is crucial in addressing the challenges of migration\u201d – the voice of civil society at the Asia Pacific Regional Consultation<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sumitha<\/strong> <\/strong>Kishna<\/strong>, <\/strong>director of the NGO Our Journey<\/strong>,<\/strong> presented opening remarks on behalf of Civil Society<\/strong> in the region<\/strong>, <\/strong>stressing the importance of the preparatory meetings held within civil society to arrive prepared at the regional consultative processes, which allowed them to be able to bring everyone’s voice collectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Partnerships, this year\u2019s key theme, was highlighted several times in Sumitha\u2019s speech, who emphasized the necessity to \u201cinclude all stakeholders<\/strong>,<\/strong> employers groups, trade unions, civil society organizations and where they exist also National Human Rights Institutions in the discussions to be truly effective in addressing and protecting migrants<\/strong>\u2019<\/strong> rights<\/strong>.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She also called on a change of perspective <\/strong>about regular and irregular migration pathways: migrants migrating through irregular channels or migrants becoming undocumented are the evidence of states failing in implementing and monitoring their migration systems, not the other way round. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
