GCM Objectives

For each of the 23 GCM Objectives, the guide includes:

  • A concise summary of the main issues for migrant women and girls
  • Concrete measures to ensure gender-responsive implementation
  • A checklist of key actions

This guide outlines the circumstances that contribute to the specific vulnerabilities of migrant women and girls and their experiences of gender-based discrimination as both a cause and consequence of the violations of their human rights, and it proposes concrete actions that policy makers and other relevant stakeholders can undertake. It also highlights the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on migrant women and girls and proposes specific measures to mitigate them. In addition, it contains a checklist for actions which stakeholders can complete and download.
