The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) has successfully facilitated the return of another group of Nigerian migrants evacuated from Libya.This latest group of 180 returnees, predominantly consisting of women and children, arrived at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos via a chartered flight from Libya.As reported by the IOM, many of these individuals faced severe hardships, including detention, exploitation, and uncertainty during their attempts to migrate abroad. The agency further indicated that the returnees received health screenings, counselling, and other immediate assistance, with eligible individuals set to receive reintegration support aimed at helping them rebuild their lives.“The recent operation is part of a continuous partnership between the IOM, the Federal Government, and international collaborators to facilitate voluntary returns and encourage safer migration pathways,” the agency stated in its announcement. The IOM has reported rescuing over 65,500 stranded Nigerian migrants in the last nine years. During a migration reporting workshop held in Lagos, it was revealed that more than 30,000 returnees have also benefited from psychological, social, and economic support to aid in their reintegration.Nevertheless, the agency emphasized its commitment to enhancing efforts to promote safe and legal migration pathways, while calling for increased public awareness and responsible media coverage regarding migration issues.Concerned about the risks associated with irregular migration, the Federal Government issued a warning in May 2026, advising Nigerians against departing the country without valid travel documents.

That early experience shaped a career dedicated to supporting women and girls in displacement and emergency settings around the world.Together, we explore:What gender-based violence has to do with access to justiceWhy justice often means far more than courts and legal systemsThe importance of naming violations, recognising harm and creating safe spacesHow Sandra's background in both law and sociology informs her workWhat it is really like to work in humanitarian responses in places such as Ukraine, Afghanistan and Cox's BazarWhy small daily successes matter in long-term social change workAdvice for anyone hoping to work in humanitarian or human rights fieldsSandra also offers an honest look at the realities of frontline humanitarian work, explaining why listening, humility and respect for local communities are essential.This is an insightful conversation about justice, dignity and practical ways to support survivors of violence in some of the world's most challenging contexts.Listen now and subscribe so you don't miss Part 2, where Sandra discusses her current legal work on violence against mothers and what all of us should be paying attention to next.#JustAccess #HumanRights #AccessToJustice #RefugeeRights #GenderBasedViolence #WomenRights #UNHCR #HumanitarianWork #Podcast Hosted on Acast.

About a month ago Paul Craine told Agenda about the quite stark findings of his second IoM population atlas. The statistics showing a significantly aging population were bad enough in Mr Craine's first population atlas but the latest version tells an increasingly concerning tale. So what's to be done? Find out on this week's Agenda. Have we been too focussed on policies to keep growing the economy and the public services we need and enjoy? Should we instead be developing policy that leads to a happier, more contented society that's not forever chasing its tail. Anyone out there bold enough to have a dream?!

In this episode, YAIM members describe how they kept their sanity inside Tariq al Sikka through music, shared prayers, and solidarity across nationalities, before recounting what happened once they were repatriated to The Gambia through what IOM calls Assisted Voluntary Return. It traces the gap between what they were promised and what they actually received, and follows their attempts to build a livelihood with a reintegration package of roughly 1,000 euros designed around a neoliberal entrepreneurship model that ignores both the psychological toll of the journey and the collective, family-based economy of Gambian society, and the infrastructural limitations of the country.

Episode #453: Patrick Phongsathorn is a human rights advocate and Fortify Rights advocacy specialist working on Myanmar. Raised near London by a Thai–Irish–South African family, he pairs legal rigor with practical savvy about how ministries, courts, and donors move. After abandoning an early push toward medicine, Patrick rerouted into politics and human rights, studying at SOAS and Sciences Po's Human Rights and Humanitarian Action program. He learned by doing: Human Rights Watch work on detention and refugee children; IOM in TimorLeste's smallstate bureaucracy; UNHCR in Lebanon at the height of the Syria crisis. After settlingin Thailand, he joined Fortify Rights in 2019, built monitoring systems, and now leads advocacy while training partners to craft evidencedriven strategies. Patrick's approach is simple and demanding: investigate carefully, argue from law, and listen first. As he puts it, “the most important people that I've spoken to about Myanmar are Myanmar people.” In Myanmar he sees a twotrack mission— minimize harm now and make justice possible later— because “if you don't reconcile the injustices that people face, then they will come back.” Fortify Rights has documented a pattern of indiscriminate airstrikes on civilians and protected sites—churches, IDP camps, hospitals, schools—often rising when the junta loses ground. Patrickcalls for an arms embargo and restrictions on aviation fuel alongside individual command accountability. The red lines are nonnegotiable: “It's never right to bomb a hospital, it's never right to bomb a school, it's never right to kill civilians in times of war.” Accountability, he insists, binds all parties, including the NUG, PDFs, and ethnic forces. He is also skeptical of sham elections and “safe zones,” urging instead a real Thai asylum system and sustained international pressure through the UN and universaljurisdiction cases. He also reflects on ‘the day after' the military's anticipated defeat, noting that they must avoid victors' justice while building institutions that can fairly try atrocity crimes. And as the global order frays, he reminds that Myanmar is a test of whether law can still restrain power, reminding listeners that “even if you're not interested in international politics, international politics will be interested in you.”

Episode #441: “I just thought, ‘Someone has to stay and bear witness,'” says Paul Greening, a veteran humanitarian with the International Organization for Migration (IOM). For decades he moved between crises—Afghanistan, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, East Timor—but Myanmar, and the Rohingya tragedy in particular, define his moral world. He first encountered the Rohingya in 2008 while in Aceh, when boats of desperate families arrived on Indonesian shores. Unprepared officials and global indifference convinced him to keep their story alive within humanitarian networks, a concern that eventually drew him to Myanmar itself. He arrived in August 2017, and felt strongly that a catastrophe was about to unfold. Weeks later, the campaign began. When his IOM contract ended, Greening stayed on in Rakhine, linking aid agencies with local civil society and supporting the 2019 White Rose campaign of interfaith solidarity. Trapped in Bangkok by COVID, he later moved to Mae Sot, where he now supports exiled youth and the wounded. “They're inspiring,” he says. “They're not giving up!” Greening finds particular inspiration in both the leading role taken in the resistance by Burmese youth, and by Myanmar's emerging cross-ethnic unity: “That's the real revolution,” he says, “ethnic cooperation.” At the same time, he has reasons for concern, such as the lack of full acceptance of women and LGBTQ youth in the movement, as well as in a future, post-conflict Myanmar. He also wants to ensure that the movement is not co-opted by career politicians who have fled the area for their own safety but intend to regain power in a post-conflict Myanmar. Greening is unsentimental about how many revolutions turn out, and the effects of trauma across generations, yet still has hope. “If [the people] can be more united,” he says, “then we move the revolution forward again.”

Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina inayoangazia siku ya Umoja wa Mataifa na tutasikia kutoka mashinani wananchi na asasi za kiraia zina yapi ya kusema kuhusu shirika hili kubwa na la kipekee linalounganisha nchi wanachama 193 duniani.Mashirika manne ya Umoja wa Mataifa lile la uhamiaji IOM, la kuhudumia wakimbizi UNHCR, la Kuhudumia watoto UNICEF na la mpango wa chakula duniani WFP leo yametoa wito wa dharura kwa dunia kuchukua hatua mara moja kukabiliana na janga la kibinadamu linaloongezeka nchini Sudan. Zaidi ya watu milioni 30 wanahitaji msaada, nchini humo wakiwemo watoto milioni 15 na wakimbizi karibu milioni moja.Mahakama ya Kimataifa ya Haki (ICJ) jana Oktoba 22 ilisema Israeli lazima itimize majukumu yake kama “anayekalia kimabavu” kwa kuhakikisha kuwa msaada unaweza kupita bila vizuizi na kwa kuheshimu haki za Umoja wa Mataifa na mashirika mengine ya kibinadamu yanayofanya kazi katika Ardhi ya Palestina Iliyokaliwa kwa Mabavu. Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa António Guterres ameelezea maoni hayo ya ICJ kuwa “muhimu sana,” akiongeza kuwa yametolewa wakati ambapo Umoja wa Mataifa unafanya kila juhudi kuongeza kasi ya misaada kuingia Gaza baada ya kusitishwa kwa mapigano.Nchini Kenya, wahudumu wa afya waliokuwa wakisubiri hadi siku 15 kupata malipo sasa wanapokea pesa ndani ya saa 72 pekee, shukrani kwa mfumo mpya wa malipo ya kidijitali uliotolewa na Shirika la Sfya la Umoja wa Mataifa WHO na Wizara ya Afya ya nchi hiyo. Mfumo huu unapeleka fedha moja kwa moja kwenye pochi za simu za wafanyakazi, ukipunguza ucheleweshaji, gharama na kuongeza motisha. Wafanyakazi zaidi ya 120,000 sasa wanafaidika, kuboresha ufanisi wa kampeni za chanjo na juhudi za kudhibiti polio.Mwenyeji wako ni Anold Kayanda, karibu!
