Benefiting Member States
Brazil
Brazil has a recent and robust National Migration Law (enactment in 2017); however, it has faced challenges to apply its principles and norms in a harmonized manner. Migrants continue to undergo lengthy or complex documentation processes. Regular pathways are often overlooked as viable regularization options with migrants applying instead for asylum, not knowing there are other viable mechanisms such as the country’s two-fold scheme residence permit procedure. This project aims to contribute to improving access to safe, orderly and regular migration pathways for international migrants in Brazil, in line with national and international law.
To achieve the project objective, under Outcome 1, IOM will establish a “Migration Law Hub platform” under the Ministry of Justice to strengthen its institutional capacity to enhance regular pathways with a gender and rights-based approach (Output 1.1); moreover, a Migration Law Handbook (with a gender approach) for federal and local stakeholders will be available (Output 1.2); and government officials and migration law practitioners’ capacities on migration law principles and migration law practice to improve access to gender-responsive regular pathways with a rights-based approach will be strengthened (Output 1.3).
