BACKGROUND ON THE CRISIS
In line with IOM’s global strategy, the IOM Mission in Ukraine aims at advancing the understanding of the opportuniti es and chal-lenges of migrati on in the Ukrainian context. Maximizing those opportuniti es and minimizing the challenges presented by migra-tory movements are the guiding principles of all acti viti es and programmes the Mission engages in.
IOM Ukraine fi ghts traffi cking in human beings, assists the Government in addressing the needs of internally displaced persons and dealing with irregular migrati on, improving its migrati on management system, and creati ng migrant-inclusive health practi ces and policies. At the same ti me, IOM Ukraine engages in exploring and promoti ng regular channels for Ukrainian labour migrants, harnessing the development potenti al of migrati on, disseminati ng migrati on informati on and managing migrati on movements and integrati on of ethnic minoriti es, promoti ng the benefi ts of cultural diversity, and counteracti ng xenophobia and intolerance.
During the 19 years of its presence in Ukraine, IOM has assisted over 400,000 migrants (Ukrainians and other nati onaliti es), potenti al migrants, victi ms of traffi cking and other vulnerable groups, directly or through its project partners.
