Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs
Developed by over forty experts, the Model International Mobility Convention (MIMC) provides a comprehensive framework for governing different forms of human mobility — from visitors and workers to refugees. Built on the principle that rights expand with mobility needs, it envisions a system where everyone can realize their rights somewhere. Hosted by the Carnegie Council for Ethics and International Affairs, MIMC aims to build on its cumulative architecture by exploring new frontiers of mobility governance and guiding policy in national and regional contexts.
Sistech
Sistech is a European nonprofit that empowers refugee women through access to tech and digital jobs. Sistech provides mentoring sessions, certified training and networking activities to more than 200 displaced and uprooted women each year — at no cost to participants. Through weekly online sessions with professionals, the mentees enrich their practical knowledge, understand the local job market better and design the next step in their career. More importantly, they join a community of displaced women and tech volunteers committed to accelerating their economic inclusion.
Helvetas
For 70 years, Helvetas has been contributing to efforts to promote equality and equity, advance human rights and enhance justice across the globe. We develop and support initiatives that aim to maximize the benefits and reduce the risks faced by migrants and host societies in more than 35 partner countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe and the Middle East/North Africa region.
