ABOUT
The Spotlight Report on Global Migration 2026 (SRGM26) was prepared to coincide with the International Migration Review Forum (IMRF) in May 2026 – the second comprehensive global review of the implementation of the United Nations Global Compact for Migration (GCM). The IMRF is a key moment for states to take account of their commitments towards the implementation of the GCM.
SRGM26 is a joint effort of Women in Migration Network (WIMN) and the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES), and builds on the first Spotlight Report, published in 2022 to align with the initial IMRF. SRGM26 aims to uphold and strengthen human rights for migrants and is an integral part of an organizing and advocacy strategy towards the IMRF 2026 and beyond.
Women in Migration Network (WIMN) is an international network focused on the rights of all women affected by migration. WIMN takes an intersectional, feminist approach to promote women’s human rights in migration and development policy, and to promote migrant rights in feminist advocacy. WIMN lifts up and supports the experiences, voices and agency of all women affected by migration as essential changemakers on the road to a more just world. WIMN members are organizations and individuals working at the national, regional and international levels.
This report is published with the support of the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES), the oldest political foundation in Germany. FES carries a rich tradition in social democracy dating back to its founding in 1925. It is a non-profit institution active in Germany and around the world, with offices in more than 100 countries. FES advocates for peaceful coexistence and human rights; promotes the establishment and consolidation of democratic, social, and constitutional structures; and paves the way for free trade unions and a strong civil society.
