Adapting Social Protection in the Sahel: Addressing the Challenges of Population Mobility #SahelMigration #SocialProtection #AdaptiveSupport #ClimateMigration #InternalMigration

The right to adequate housing, enshrined in Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and Article 11 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), guarantees everyone access to a safe, secure, and dignified place to live. For undocumented migrants, this right is particularly crucial as they often face unsafe or overcrowded conditions, homelessness, or exploitation by landlords due to their status. General Comment No. 4 of the ICESCR emphasizes that adequate housing must ensure legal security of tenure, affordability, habitability, and accessibility, without discrimination. Migrants are frequently excluded from formal housing markets, making them vulnerable to abuse. Upholding this right means governments must adopt inclusive policies that prevent discrimination and ensure emergency shelters and social housing are accessible to everyone, regardless of migration status. Recognizing this right for undocumented migrants promotes their dignity, safety, and integration into society. #HumanRights #AdequateHousing #MigrationMatters #UndocumentedMigrants #HousingIsAHumanRight #EqualityForAll #HumanDignity #SocialJustice #SafeShelter #EndHomelessness #ICESCRight #UniversalRights #RightToHousing #EconomicJustice #HousingEquity #MigrantSupport #FairTreatment #HumanRightsMatter #CompassionInAction #AdvocateForChange

🔹 Empowering Inter-State Migrant Workers: Agrasar's Commitment to Social Security 🔹 Inter-state migrant workers, often employed informally without social security, struggle to access their rights and meet basic needs. This leaves their families, especially children, vulnerable and unsupported. At Agrasar, we're making a significant impact by directly supporting 30,000+ migrant workers and their families annually through our 8 centres. Our efforts leverage existing government infrastructure to enhance access to social security schemes. By collaborating with workers, families, community agencies, and government bodies, we aim to create a sustainable, empowering ecosystem. Join us in supporting migrant workers and building sustainable, inclusive communities. 🌟 #MigrantWorkers #SocialSecurity #CommunitySupport #InclusiveGrowth #socialimpact
