Purpose

Our Mission
The overall mission of MRN is to ensure that our emerging global society recognises and embraces migration as a key component of economic progress and development, in the creation of culturally rich and diverse societies, and in the promotion of human, political, social and economic rights and gender equality

Our Aim

• to promote the rights of all migrants, regardless of where they are from, where they live and why they are here by developing a dynamic and diverse network that builds bridges across different sectors and interests, helping to get migrants' voices heard where it matters;
• to support migrant community organisations by helping them to represent themselves more effectively at all levels by promoting dialogue, sharing information and expertise, and building knowledge and skills across different migrant communities;
• to support and work with migrants to campaign for justice within immigration and all social policy by providing up-to-date policy analysis, informing campaign priorities and co-ordinating action.

Our Values

• rights based approach - An integrated and comprehensive approach which puts the work of MRN within the norms, standards and principles of the international human rights systems. This approach is concerned with justice, equity and the well-being of the entire population;
• migrant defined - Ensuring that migrants have the power, opportunities and capabilities to influence their own destinies including fully participating in the setting of MRN's priorities, its activities and its development;
