MAP’s Legal Aid Partner Programme offers early-career lawyers a chance to provide pro bono support to survivors of SGBV. Since 2022, our Partners have represented 100+ cases and secured nearly 60 key orders. Apply by 15 Sept 2025. Link: migrationandasylumproject.org/legal-aid-part…
Our Labour Migration & Mobility team, with Shakti Shalini, held an outreach in a Delhi adivasi camp. We shared info on labour rights, social security & artisan schemes, while building trust and connecting the community to support systems that protect dignity & livelihoods.
Denial of legal status often forces LGBTIQ+ refugees to hide their identities, even in exile. Our article in the Journal of Refugee Studies explores these protection gaps and the urgent need for inclusive responses. Read: doi.org/10.1093/jrs/fe… @refugeestudies
Nearly 80 women joined our legal awareness sessions in Tughlakabad, Sonia Vihar & Nehru Nagar this month. From gender equality to cyber safety, these conversations created safe spaces for women to share, learn & reclaim their rights.
Our labour laws remain out of reach for many migrant workers. These 7 LAW Fellows seek to change that, working to break barriers and strengthen access to justice where it’s needed most!
Little hands, big dreams. ✨ This #IndependenceDay, refugee children painted futures filled with freedom, peace & pride in the nation--a reminder that freedom shines brightest when it includes everyone. 🇮🇳🖌️
2 MAP Fellows joined the Research for Impact workshop by the Centre for Social Justice, focusing on human rights, SDGs & policy. The Displacement, Movement and Inclusion team also trained with Priya Varadarajan in Theatre of the Oppressed under the UNTFEVAW project.
We recently hosted a leadership workshop with Devyani Kacker & Jacob John, who brought rich insights from the Access to Justice space. As MAP prepares to scale and enter systems change, this space helped us reflect, align, and lead with clarity!
The EPF helps eligible workers build savings & access support in times of need — but it’s not automatic. MAP’s Labour Migration & Mobility team helps workers understand, access & claim what’s theirs. Swipe to learn who it covers, how to register & when to withdraw.
13 MAP-trained PLVs have been empaneled with the New Delhi DLSA! Now formal justice workers, they’ll support legal aid efforts across the district & share grassroots insights with peers. We're grateful to Kumar Rahul for championing community-led justice!
On the anniversary of the #1951RefugeeConvention, we share the story of Tahera--a Hazara woman whose journey from displacement to dignity reflects the true promise of refugee protection. Read her story: migrationandasylumproject.org/blog
MAP was proud to host 4 KARM—Anubhuti, Khushi, Monika & Diksha—as part of their placement with our teams in Delhi. From research & drafting to fieldwork, their contribution to public interest law was thoughtful & impactful!
We're in Raipur, Chhattisgarh! MAP led a 2-day workshop on Trauma-Informed Care with 120+ OSC staff—counsellors, lawyers, social workers & more. We discussed DV, trafficking, rape, legal recourse & the role of OSCs in first response. More trainings coming soon across India!
MAP, in collaboration with UKSLSA, conducted a 2-day legal aid training for 20 Panel Advocates of DLSA Dehradun as part of the Uttarakhand Justice Conclave 2025. From SGBV to Labour Law, the training focused on practical strategies to strengthen A2J for vulnerable groups.
In July 2024, MAP began its next phase in empowering migrant women in Delhi with legal knowledge and support. We marked one year with paralegals, community leaders and the SBI Foundation, all of whom have been key partners in making justice more accessible for women survivors.
📚 Weekend read From Kabul to Delhi, their music carries stories of home, hope & resistance. Meet Salaam Band, the Afghan refugee band that lit up MAP’s #WorldRefugeeDay event. Read their stories via @NewIndianXpress & @IndianExpress : 🔗 migrationandasylumproject.org/inthepress
On this last day of Pride Month, we wanted to say: We see you. We stand with you. In a world where too many are still forced to justify who they are, MAP reaffirms its solidarity with LGBTQIA+ persons across borders and identities, this Pride Month. And always. 🏳️🌈
We had the pleasure of hosting over 15 brilliant scholars from @IDIALaw at our office this Wednesday! See more in the video below!
MAP is seeking a qualified and committed Communications and Outreach Officer to join our team! - Duration: 12 months - Apply by: 11 July 2025, 5 PM IST - Application link docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… For more, please visit the 'Vacancies' tab in our website.
