People’s Global Action 2013
— September 3, 2013Since the first HLD in 2006, the PGA has annually brought together grassroots migrant communities, migrant rights organizations, trade unions, faith groups, academia and other civil society from around the world to share information, dialogue, strengthen analyses and develop joint positions on critical issues related to international migration. The PGA provides the space for communities to critically engage the UN HLD process, raise our collective voices to challenge states to undertake migration and development policy-making from a human rights and people-centered approach, call to end the widespread criminalization of migration, and hold governments accountable to their international human rights and community development commitments. In addition, the PGA also paves the way for important transnational alliances, capacity-building and development of our movements and networks.
