Brussels, Belgique Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants Temps plein

PICUM, the Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants, is a network of organisations working to ensure social justice and human rights for undocumented migrants. Grounded in principles of social justice, anti-racism and equality, PICUM works to ensure that all migrants are entitled to a dignified standard of living and respect for their fundamental rights. Bringing together the experiences and expertise of its members, PICUM provides a platform to engage policy makers and the general public in the full realisation of the rights of undocumented migrants.

Based in Brussels, the PICUM secretariat leads the network’s advocacy, alliance-building, communications and research activities at the EU and international levels.
