First ever global alliance of, for, and led by organizations of grassroots migrants, refugees and displaced peoples.

We are the International Migrants Alliance.

“For many years, others have spoken on our behalf... now we speak for ourselves.”

This is the motto of the International Migrants Alliance (IMA), the first-ever global alliance of grassroots migrants, refugees and displaced peoples.

Established in June 2008, the IMA is an international alliance of progressive and anti-imperialist organizations that defends and promotes the rights and well-being of all victims of forced migration through campaigns, education and various initiatives. 

The IMA has a membership of over 200 organizations of migrants, refugees and advocates from 33 countries and country regions. We are present in all global regions: Africa, Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, Middle East, North America, and Europe.
