Out of the Shadows: Shining a Light on Irregular Migration

Launch Event for a New Report on Irregular Migration
Thursday, August 29, 2019 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
CSIS Headquarters, 2nd Floor

Millions of people around the world live in and travel through the shadows. Compelled to leave home, they migrate irregularly without proper documentation to gain access to jobs, education, healthcare, food, and other essential services. Irregular migration exists because there are not enough opportunities for safety and prosperity at home and too few conventional means through which to remedy that lack of opportunity. Recognizing the critical, understudied, and often misunderstood nature of this global phenomenon, CSIS produced a research study on irregular migration involving field research in Mexico, Eritrea, and Ghana. This report, which builds on CSIS’ past work on the global forced migration crisis, aims to shine a light on irregular migration and contribute to an enormously consequential conversation.
 
Read CSIS’s new report Out of the Shadows: Shining a Light on Irregular Migration.
 
The report and event were made possible by the generous support of the Ford Foundation.
