Protecting vulnerable migrants through screening and advocacy
In 2022, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) deployed 35 UN Volunteers in nine countries of the Middle East and North Africa region. Serving as specialists, youth and experts, some of these motivated and skilled UN Volunteers bolstered efforts in migrant protection, communications and interpretation. Others supported project management, including monitoring and evaluation. Find out how two national UN Volunteers with IOM in Cairo are providing protection and assistance to migrants vulnerable to violence, exploitation and abuse, including victims of trafficking.
Volunteers have contributed to the success of our strategic deliverables at all levels in the field and the region. --Othman Belbeisi, IOM Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa
