Honoring Migrant Resilience and Advancing Women’s Safety | International Migrants Day 2025, Ethiopia
In Addis Ababa, Population Media Center (PMC) Ethiopia, in partnership with UN Women, successfully commemorated International Migrants Day 2025, bringing together government representatives, researchers, and advocates to reflect on migration as a journey shaped by hope, risk, and resilience. Guided by the theme of solidarity and shared responsibility, the event centered on the safety, rights, and dignity of women migrants, highlighting gender-specific risks, government commitments to protect returnees, and evidence from formative research and academic studies on women migrants’ socio-economic contributions.
Under the theme of solidarity and shared responsibility, Population Media Center (PMC) Ethiopia, in collaboration with UN Women, convened government leaders, researchers, and advocates to explore the realities of migration, placing a strong focus on the safety, rights, and dignity of women migrants.
Key highlights of the event:
🔹 Leadership Perspectives
Mr. Schadrack Dusabe (UN Women Ethiopia) underscored the gender-specific risks women face along migration pathways, while Ato Dereje Tegyebelu (Ministry of Women and Social Affairs) reaffirmed the Government of Ethiopia’s commitment to protecting migrants and supporting returnees.
🔹 Research to Action
Findings from the Formative Audience Research (FAR), presented by Grace Consultancy, provided critical insights into strategies for keeping women migrants safe, sound, and respected.
🔹 Recognizing Women’s Contributions
A groundbreaking study by Addis Ababa University highlighted the significant socio-economic contributions of migrant women to Ethiopia’s development.
🔹 A Human Rights Lens on Migration
In his opening remarks, Dr. Hailegnaw Eshete (PMC Ethiopia) reminded participants that migration is not merely the movement of people, but a journey shaped by human rights, resilience, and risk, especially for women navigating irregular routes.
Migration is a global reality, but safety must be a local guarantee. Through evidence, media, and policy engagement, PMC Ethiopia and its partners continue to work toward migration pathways defined by dignity, protection, and informed choice—never danger.
Voices from the event
“Migration policies must be gender responsive. Women migrants often face compounded risks, including gender-based violence. Our goal is to ensure migration becomes a pathway to empowerment, not desperation.” Mr. Schadrack Dusabe, UN Women Ethiopia Country Representative
“We are building more than policies; we are building a safety net. Together with partners, we are strengthening protection, reintegration, and opportunity for returnees.” Ato Dereje Tegyebelu, CEO, Ministry of Women and Social Affairs
“By leveraging local-language media and community engagement, we are reshaping the narrative toward safe and legal migration, grounded in evidence and lived experiences.”
Dr. Hailegnaw Eshete, PMC Ethiopia representative. He added migration is a global reality, but safety must be guaranteed locally. Together with partners, PMC Ethiopia reaffirmed its commitment to advancing migration pathways rooted in dignity, protection, and empowerment for women and all migrants.
Advocates emphasized the importance of gender-responsive policies, research-driven interventions, and the strategic use of media and community engagement to promote safe and informed migration.
