Following the launch of the GCM Indicators by migrants and refugees last June 21 amidst APMM’s Regional Migrants’ Summit, we are happy to share here the digital version of this living document with you!

The Indicators were produced and developed by grassroots migrants, refugees, and advocates during our GCM Indicators Workshop in November 2024. Through an inclusive iterative process of doing consultations and revisions with co-organizers of the workshop and grassroots migrants, the Indicators document encapsulates 7 clusters that reflect the issues and demands of migrants and refugees in Asia Pacific. These clusters include:

• Access to justice indicators

• Access to health, education, and all forms of social protection indicators

• Women migrants’ rights and welfare

• Decent work indicators

• Stop trafficking indicators

• Drivers of migration indicators

• Advancig rights and realizing meaningful participation indicators

These indicators hope to measure how effective GCM is in upholding migrants’ and refugees’ rights; help create concrete policy and action recommendations to migrant sending and migrant receiving countries; facilitate meaningful participation in the GCM process to change the negative narrative, treatment, and overall situation of migrants and refugees. It is important to make more migrants and refugees aware of the GCM and make the GCM relevant to them.
