The International Migration Review Forum (IMRF) 2026 Progress Declaration represents a critical opportunity to address these gaps and strengthen implementation of the GCM.This paper outlines MYCP’s policy priorities and general recommendations to ensure that migration governance is youth-centred, rights-based, and responsive to current global challenges. Strategic Priority: Recognition of Youth as Stakeholders
MYCP's Youth Statement: A major call to action from the Global Youth Consultation
We, children and young migrants, exist in a world where migration is a lived and urgent reality, shaped both by necessity and by the pursuit of safety, education, dignity, and opportunity. Having mobilized and gathered from across the world, we share our stories, realities, and truths, rooted in a call for action with one clear message: The future is ours to build, together.
Youth Impact Report: Colombian Chairship of the XV Global Forum on Migration & Development (2024-2025)
This report provides a comprehensive account of MYCP's contributions across the full GFMD cycle, from its role as co-chair of Government Roundtable 2 and the convening of the 5th Migration Youth Forum in Riohacha, Colombia, where youth delegates produced the La Guajira Declaration.

Annual Research Report: Youth and migrant-inclusive social protection
Ahead of the International Migration Forum, this MYCP research report brings together evidence on how social protection systems can better respond to the needs of migrant and displaced young people in line with the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM). It builds on the recognition that social protection is a key policy tool to reduce inequalities, support access to basic services, and enable young people to navigate transitions in contexts shaped by displacement and exclusion. This report rejects traditional clustering and adopts a cross sectoral approach, reflecting the reality that migration intersects with multiple policy areas. It examines how structural drivers such as climate change and migration shape young people’s access to fundamental rights and services like education and healthcare.
Assessing Child and Youth Rights in the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration
Strengthening alignment with the UNCRC requires the development of clearer procedural standards, child-specific accountability mechanisms, and sustained investment in systems that ensure access to services, protection, and justice. Crucially, it also requires recognising children and youth as active participants in migration governance, with the right and capacity to shape the policies and processes that affect their lives. Without such shifts, the gap between commitment and practice will remain, and migrant children will continue to face systemic protection deficits.
JUSTICE WITHOUT BORDERS UNDER THREAT: ENSURING ACCESS TO JUSTICE FOR MIGRANT,REFUGEE, DISPLACED WOMEN AND GIRLS AND OTHER MARGINALISED PEOPLE AT CSW70
Justice systems cannot claim universality if they exclude those whose lives cross borders. If CSW70 aims to strengthen access to justice for all, then structural barriers faced by migrant, refugee women and other marginalised individuals must be addressed explicitly. This requires legal reform, strengthened accountability, sustained investment in support services, and meaningful participation of migrant women and girls in policy development.
GCM Youth Consultations Monitoring, Evaluation & Learning Report 2024-25
The Migration Youth & Children Platform (MYCP) Global Compact for Safe, Orderly & Regular Migration (GCM) Youth Consultations program represents a milestone in the Migration Youth and Children Platform's manifest mission to bridge the gap between youth experiences and international migration policymaking. The program successfully exceeded its initial primary targets, consulting 812 youth on the move across five world regions through 23 consultation sessions, supported by partnerships with 65 organizations. This achievement demonstrates the strong demand for youth participation in migration policy discussions globally.
CLIMATE MOBILITIES YOUTH DECLARATION
The MYCP Climate Mobilities Youth Declaration is an entirely youth and volunteer-led initiative that brought together young people from around the world to reflect on the linkages between climate change, migration, and displacement. Recognizing that the climate crisis is reshaping human mobility — forcing communities to move, stay, or adapt—this initiative unites diverse youth voices to demand action, build knowledge, and showcase solutions. Through consultations, and partnerships, we crafted a declaration that aims to reflect the realities of those most affected by the crisis, despite having contributed to it the least, ensuring their experiences and demands shape global policies.
La Guajira Declaration
The Youth Delegation to the XV Global Forum for Migration and Development (GFMD), coordinated by the Migration Youth & Children Platform (MYCP) as the official Youth Stakeholder Network of the GFMD, met on 1 September 2025 in Riohacha at the Migration Youth Forum to discuss the priorities, challenges, solutions and opportunities for children and youth on the move around the world. This declaration, the La Guajira Declaration, sets forth those priorities and findings to States, local governments, the private sector, international organisations, civil society and the broader international community, as a call to action by, with and for young and child migrants.
