Consultancy For Study On The Protection Needs Of Vulnerable Groups In Mixed Migration Flows In Djibouti-Ville
1. Background And Context
The Danish Refugee CouncilS Mandate Is The Protection Of Displaced Persons. In Djibouti, Drc Has Been Present Since 2015 Implementing Projects In Protection, Livelihoods, Hygiene Promotion, Ccm And Migration. In Terms Of Migration, Djibouti Is An Important Transit Country For Mixed Migration From The Horn Of Africa Who Travel From Obock To The Arabian Peninsula (Saudi Arabia) Via Yemen, As Well As Refugees Fleeing The Conflict In Yemen. Men, As Well As Women And Children (The Latter Representing 30% Of The Flows Through Djibouti According To Iom), Take On A Perilous Journey And Are Exposed To Multiple Rights Violations Including Extortion, Smuggling, Trafficking And Exploitation. Although Djibouti Has Ratified The International Conventions On Migration And The Protection Of Human Rights Of Migrant And Refugees, And Subsequently Enacted Laws Relating To The Trafficking And Smuggling Of Migrants And The Status Of Refugees, Challenges Remain In Their Enforcement To Ensure Those Rights Are Respected.
Within A Project Funded By The Eu, Entitled Contribution To The Promotion, Protection, And Exercise Of Rights Of Migrants In The Republic Of Djibouti, One Of The Main Objectives Is To Promote And Strengthen The Response Against Smuggling And Trafficking Of Migrants And To Propose Recommendations In Terms Of Rights Protection For Victims. As Such, Drc Aims To Identify And Better Inform The Response Needed To Address The Potential Protection Gaps Through A Study On The Protection Needs Of Vulnerable Groups In Mixed Migration Flows In Djibouti Ville, With Focus On Trafficking And Smuggling.
2. Purpose
The Theme Of DrcS Study Is Focused On Trafficking And Smuggling Given That: (1) Little Information And Concrete Data Exists On The Real Situation Of Victims Of Trafficking And That Of Smuggling Of Migrants In Djibouti; (2) There Is A Need To Assess The Response At The Legal, Administrative And Legislative Levels For These Victims, In An Objective Manner, In Order To Better Focus On Protection Needs Of Refugees And Migrants In Mixed Migration Flows .
The Purpose Of The Study Is Therefore Twofold: I) To Improve Understanding Of The Situation Of Victims Of Trafficking And Migrant Smuggling In Djibouti; And Ii) To Establish A Strategy To Improve The Response For Victims Of Trafficking And Migrant Smuggling Through A National Consultation With The Relevant Stakeholders Involved In The Response To Migration. As Such, The Study Will Aim To Provide Concrete Evidence And Recommendations To Better Address The Protection Needs Of Victims Leading To More Targeted Programming And Awareness On The Subject.
