The Forced Migration Research Network (FMRN) undertakes advocacy at national, regional and international levels. This includes annual participation at meetings of UNHCR in Geneva to raise issues of concern relating to the protection of refugees and asylum seekers in Australia and in a range of international settings in which the Centre conducts research.
Working in partnership with refugee communities, our advocacy work draws on rigorous academic research to identity gaps and needs in situations of forced migration, and to develop tools and support innovative laws to address identified gaps.
The advocacy work of the Network has achieved important impacts on law, policy and practice at the national, regional and international levels.
