MEET THE TEAM
Network for Migration Matters (NMM) is an organisation which brings together people from across the globe who are interested in migration matters through our blog, webinar series and links to online resources.
The platform takes a unique interdisciplinary and international approach, enabling those from different countries and sectors to connect, share experiences and ideas, and learn from each other in ways they would not have been able to if a narrower approach were taken.
We are primarily focused on migration matters which also engage human rights issues but, on occasion we explore other migration topics.
Issues of particular focus include asylum, refugees, modern slavery, sex trafficking, victims of torture, immigration detention, discrimination and the practical barriers or access to justice issues facing migrants during the legal process, for example changes to legal aid funding, judicial infrastructure, or interpreting services. We are also interested in infectious disease epidemiology and the health inequalities faced by migrants and refugees.
