Advocacy, Research and Campaigns

IRMO engages in advocacy and campaigning to ensure that migrants, including asylum seekers and refugees, have fair and equal access to services in the UK and can fully exercise their rights and entitlements.

We actively support the involvement of people with lived experience in consultations and research, amplifying their voices and enhancing representation in key networks and forums.

Our efforts aim to influence policy and practice on the issues that directly affect the Latin American community and drive meaningful and lasting change for all migrant communities.

The Coalition of Latin Americans in the UK

We proudly chair the Coalition of Latin Americans in the UK (CLAUK), which leads the racial justice strategy for Latin American communities across the country. CLAUK’s mission is guided by two key objectives: advocating for meaningful change in critical and strategic areas, and building the capacity of organisations and groups that support Latin American communities in the UK.

Access to Education

Drawing on a decade of front-line experience supporting migrant and asylum-seeking children who are out of school, we’ve developed an advocacy strategy to break down the structural barriers that keep these children from accessing education. 

Through community organising, offering training for parents and carers, and working closely with schools and local authorities, we’re dedicated to making sure every migrant child has equal opportunities to learn and thrive.

Research and Reports

Through our research, we aim to shine a light on the key issues affecting our community and push for more effective responses from decision-makers. You can explore our full catalogue of reports below.

Collaborations

Networks and Forums

We work together with others in advocacy and campaigning to raise awareness and push for policy changes on important issues affecting Latin Americans and all migrant communities. These partnerships allow us to share resources, exchange best practices and tackle common challenges. Below are the networks and forums we’re proud to be a part of.

We work together for a future where through our solidarity and collective strength we're able to live as a visible community in the UK, one that is truly seen, understood and integrated in every aspect of life.
