Recognize that in the absence of adequate, rights-respecting regular migration pathways, people who need to move for livelihood or other reasons will still do so and must not be criminalized for it.

Action Points:
1. Change the narratives – towards a reconceptualization approach
2. Unpack irregular migration into different thematics (intersectionality)
