Indicators
(a) Decreased number and proportion of migrants who are victims of
xenophobic crime, including bias-driven violence
(b) Inclusive institutions, policies and practices are in place at all levels of
government, including at the municipal level, to promote diversity, pluralism and
multiculturalism as essential features of contemporary societies
(c) Increased number of migrants who are granted remedies in compensation
for discrimination, hate speech or violence
(d) Significant investment is made in mechanisms for providing information
and education on a culture of diversity, the focus of which is to create awareness of
the cultural, social and economic contributions of migrants, support the
reintegration of migrants and their families into their countries of origin, empower
marginalized groups, including migrants, in the social, political and economic
fields, and empower migrants to combat all forms of discrimination, labour
exploitation, abuse, xenophobia, violence and related intolerance
Goal 8.
Increase the collection and analysis of disaggregated data on migration
and mobility
Rationale
73. States must increase the harmonization and coordination of the collection and
analysis of migration data sources in order to develop a systemic picture. They must
provide for inclusive processes that allow for a robust public debate, including
through national consultations, and that promote a better understanding of the needs
of migrants in terms of human and labour rights protection. That will allow States to
develop more targeted programmes and more suitable mobility options and to
measure effective progress for migrants, especially those who are socially
marginalized, economically excluded and politically invisible. Such processes and
data collection will constitute an important contribution to the 2030 Agenda for
Sustainable Development.
74. In order for meaningful national plans, policies and programmes to be
developed and implemented, States must focus on collecting and assessing data on
the human rights situation of migrants, from sources such as censuses; population,
labour force and household surveys; administrative records; public services; the
justice system; national human rights institutions; trade unions; and civil society
organizations. The participation of hard-to-count migrant populations, such as shortterm, circular and undocumented migrants and child migrants and trafficked
persons, in the design of surveys and other data collection instruments and in the
dissemination and analysis of data will improve the relevance and quality of data.
75. Data collection should be focused on the human rights aspects of migration
and preferably be disaggregated by all prohibited grounds of discrimination,
including by income, area (urban or rural), sex, age, disability, nationality, sector of
employment and regular status. Disaggregation by itself, however, does not
automatically result in the reduction of inequalities. It is the action of policymakers
in response to the information revealed by disaggregation that can result in the
required change, which must then be reflected when setting targets and indicators.
76. Migration governance institutions should be able to ensure that the data,
including the identities of those who participated in its production, are protected and
kept confidential. The right of migrants to privacy needs as much protection as that
of citizens.
