Background
In 2019, IOM will release the Handbook on Protection and Assistance for Migrants Vulnerable to Violence, Exploitation and Abuse (hereafter referred to as “the Handbook”). The forthcoming Handbook articulates a comprehensive framework for analyzing and addressing migrant vulnerability. This framework conceptualizes the vulnerability of migrants on the basis of the interaction of the individual, family, community, and structural factors that increase or decrease risks of violence, exploitation and abuse.
The Handbook will guide practitioners on processes of identifying and referring vulnerable migrants, and for developing and implementing assistance and protective services that directly address the vulnerable migrant’s specific vulnerabilities in order to facilitate sustainable recovery from violence, exploitation and abuse.
With the support of the UK Department for International Development (DFID), IOM is seeking to further operationalize this publication by strengthening the knowledge and capacity of both external and IOM practitioners on the content of the Handbook.
