Migration
Migration is a fundamental part of human behaviour. Climate change, environmental pollution, natural disasters, violent conflicts, economic insecurity are some of the reasons why people migrate. While inequalities and power structures exacerbate the reasons to leave one’s home, the lines between forced and chosen migration are rarely clear.
Our social democratic vision for the future is a world in which migration is a free choice and mobility is based on the values of human rights and global solidarity. Based on the Global Compacts on Migration and on Refugees, and the Sustainable Development Goals and through close collaboration with the UN Network on Migration, OHCHR, the Treaty Body System, Special Rapporteurs, and civil society we work to strengthen the promotion and protection of human rights of all migrants.

Accompagnying the AfCFTA
The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is an ambitious trade agreement uniting 54 African economies and thus, the world largest free trade area. The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, Geneva office has started to support the idea of the AfCFTA through various projects even prior to its entering into force in May 2019. In 2022, two publications have been published so far focusing on a human centred dimension of the agreement.
