CORONAVIRUS RESPONSE AND RELIEF
The past month has been unprecedentedly nightmarish for migrant workers and their households all over India and abroad. As the level of distress spread with the extension of the lockdown, all the fault lines in our welfare system and labour markets have been exacerbated and laid bare. What started off as a global pandemic also became a major humanitarian crisis. We, at IMN, have restructured our systems and existing workstreams to help migrants everywhere in any way that we can. The page below summarises the major initiatives taken by us and by other excellent organisations in the development sector. As in everything else, we aim to ensure that migration remains an opportunity for India both during and after the Covid-19 pandemic.
