IDC Annual Report 2022-2023

IDC’s 2022-23′ annual report details our activities during the reporting year.

Over 2022 and 2023, we have witnessed large movements of people around the world in search of safety, livelihoods and the pursuit of a stable and fulfilling life. Conflicts, economic crises, violence and climate-induced displacement have driven record numbers of people to leave their homes. Despite global dialogue, many countries have hardened their immigration stances, leading to more stringent laws and policies. This includes the criminalisation of migration and one of its clear manifestations: immigration detention.

Rising migration and displacement are juxtaposed alongside increasing xenophobia and political resistance to welcoming migrants. This only illuminates the complex, ongoing challenge of fostering global solidarity and action around migration, human rights and ending immigration detention.
