India, which is at the heart of migration in South Asia, is host to millions of internal migrants, refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) who have been forced to leave their home due to conflict, persecution, natural disasters, and abject poverty. Often, those displaced, majority of whom are women and children, have limited legal recognition or rights due to absence of domestic legislations or the poor implementation of existing ones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6006b1d33753c24df24ba6d1/1613472651154-RUOMJ6NSPKEB3EUYKZ5J/image.jpg Organisation - Objective MAP seeks to strike at the root of a migrant’s vulnerability – her/his lack of agency with respect to their legal status- by making the core Rule of Law principles central to its approach to realising their rights.

To this end, MAP uses both traditional as well as innovative media like apps, animation, illustrated material etc., to simplify laws and ensure effective communication. MAP prioritises working with women and children, and other marginalised groups (LGBTQI, those with disabilities, etc.) who are survivors of or at risk of SGBV. MAP has undertaken legal awareness trainings on issues of SGBV, labour rights, entitlements and laws for redressal in case of violations, with over 1,100 members of target migrant and forcibly displaced communities. MAP has also conducted sessions with forced migrants who are UNHCR’s Persons of Concern, on the agency’s systems and processes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6006b1d33753c24df24ba6d1/1612248762767-PEPTDL4JNEZJA4Z99S86/Pallavi%2BDeeksha%2BImage%2B2.jpg Awareness - Targeted training of community focal points MAP identifies members within displaced populations to act as “barefoot advocates” who then, operate as the first line of responders and lead the advocacy efforts for the community. The goal is to equip these individuals to become agents of change, and reduce their dependency on external service providers. MAP also engages with the Paralegal Volunteer networks managed by the state legal aid authorities to build their capacities to respond to the specific needs of the migrant communities. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6006b1d33753c24df24ba6d1/ffb28010-d0dc-4f16-8e6b-88d92675a08e/8.png Awareness Community Leaders are drawn from the communities with which MAP works.

The craft has survived decades of war and turmoil, passed down through generations of women, who then brought it to India when they sought refuge here. MAP, in partnership with Dastkar India, envisioned Atiqa to create a transformative space for Afghan refugee women to use their skills in traditional embroidery, not only to secure a sustainable livelihood but also to have a therapeutic outlet for their common experience of being uprooted from their homeland. The project also allowed them to preserve their cultural identity and use art as an effective medium to forge a bond with the host population. https://www.migrationandasylumproject.org/advocacy daily 0.75 2023-05-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6006b1d33753c24df24ba6d1/1613542906916-BOY8C8ZYHL3C2SX39BOD/Access%2Bto%2BJustice_2.jpg Advocacy - Domestic Asylum Bill Despite not being a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention, India has had a long standing practice of hosting refugees. However, its unwillingness to commit to the Convention has continued, in part, due to its belief that the Eurocentric approach of the instrument fails to consider protracted conflicts that have caused large scale displacement for decades, such as in the case of Afghanistan and Tibet, which consequently increases the burden on its resources. Taking this into consideration, MAP, drafted a comprehensive asylum framework keeping in mind India’s existing policies while ensuring that both Constitutional and international principles of law were upheld. The bill was endorsed by a sitting Member of Parliament and presented as a Private Member’s Bill in 2015. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6006b1d33753c24df24ba6d1/1612428600372-SRG1DQYXTFRBVP8R5X4E/Strategic+Litigation+2.jpg Advocacy - Strategic Litigation MAP frequently collaborates with legal practitioners representing displaced communities in the various courts and tribunals in India to provide research and drafting support; and devises legal strategies that best address their larger protection needs.

This includes undertaking qualitative and quantitative research, mapping the current legal systems and policy frameworks and identifying the challenges and barriers for practical access to rights and entitlements under them.

After completing her law degree, Roshni worked with one of India's leading law firms as a corporate lawyer. She later pursued a Masters from Columbia Law School, NYC, with a focus on international law and human rights. She joined UNHCR in 2010 and worked as a refugee status determination expert in various field offices, including India, Egypt and the UAE. Realising that traditional humanitarian interventions often fail to recognise the centrality of legal assistance to post-displacement recovery, and believing these gaps to be best addressed by grassroots organisations familiar with the local context, Roshni returned to India to set up MAP. MAP pioneered and instiutionalised the concept of legal representation in the asylum process in India and is one of the few organisations globally to have been authorised by UNHCR to represent asylum claims before the agency. Roshni was also a visiting faculty member at the National Law School of India University (Bengaluru) where she taught International Refugee Law. She has published in the Forced Migration Review, Refugee Law Initiative, and International Journal of Refugee Law, amongst others.

In this background, we developed a booklet in 2019, explaining various types of gender based violence and the laws under which the perpetrators of such violence can be penalized; as well as providing numbers of organizations that can provide assistance to survivors of such crimes. The booklet is available in 8 languages!

Their situation is further aggravated due to their vulnerable situation combined with the lack of familiarity with various rules, regulations and laws that they can seek redress under. In 2020, M.A.P developed a comprehensive booklet for the community to help create awareness about the various procedures and rights available to them and what protection mechanisms they can access to ensure that they do not face exploitation of any kind.

This is due to the lack of proper documentation available with them as well as a lack of clarity regarding the policies of various financial institutions, which deters the community from even trying to approach them. Starting in 2018, M.A.P began interacting with various communities to understand their needs and with financial institutions to gauge if these needs could be met. Based on this, we developed pamphlets in 3 languages to create financial literacy amongst the population regarding the services they can access as well as explaining how best they could do so.
