Information sessions on the protection of migrants with a human rights focus are held in Panama
Within the framework of the International Organization for Migration's (IOM) protection strategy in Panama, which involves objectives of the "Western Hemisphere Program" and the "Refugee and Migrant Response Plan for Venezuela", both funded by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM), introductory briefings were organized to inform and update protection concepts from a human rights perspective aimed at key actors who provide guidance, assistance or services to vulnerable migrants in Panama.
The information sessions were held in webinar format through the Zoom platform, on July 14 and 15, 2021, with a participation of more than 100 people, including members of civil society organizations, officials of government institutions, social workers, professionals in psychology and law, students, teachers, and professionals from different disciplines related to the provision of protection services.
They addressed the topics of "Protection and guidance for migrants in a vulnerable condition within the framework of human rights" and "The rights of migrant workers for the prevention of trafficking and labour exploitation". The sessions were facilitated by Rosilyne Mae Borland, Senior Regional Thematic Specialist on Migrant Assistance, and Marisol Linero, IOM Labour Migration Specialist Consultant in Panama, respectively.
These actions are expected to contribute to the strengthening of the capacities of the providers of guidance and protection services necessary to ensure that all migrant populations in vulnerable conditions are served in a timely and accessible manner.
