- According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), a migrant is anyone who moves away from their usual place of residence, temporarily or permanently.
Human Trafficking vs. Human Smuggling
- Human trafficking involves the exploitation of individuals through force, fraud, or coercion for labor or commercial sex acts.

Understanding Migration
- Migration refers to the movement of people from one place to another, either within a country or across international borders.
- This movement can be voluntary or forced, driven by factors such as economic opportunities, political instability, conflict, environmental changes, or personal aspirations.
- According to the International Organization for Migration (IOM), a migrant is anyone who moves away from their usual place of residence, temporarily or permanently.
Human Trafficking vs. Human Smuggling
- Human trafficking involves the exploitation of individuals through force, fraud, or coercion for labor or commercial sex acts.
- Human smuggling refers to the facilitation of illegal entry into a country for financial or other benefits.
- Often, smuggling can turn into trafficking when individuals are coerced or deceived into exploitative situations.
EU's Migration Support in Morocco
- The European Union (EU) has allocated €234 million between 2015 and 2021 to support Morocco in managing migration through the EU Trust Fund for Africa (EUTF).
- The funding focuses on integrated border management, fighting smuggling and trafficking, protection, and community stabilization.
- Additional support includes €150 million allocated in 2022 to enhance cooperation and dialogue on migration between the EU and Morocco.
The Plight of Refugees
- Refugees are individuals forced to flee their home countries due to persecution, conflict, or violence.
- The 1951 Refugee Convention defines a refugee as someone who cannot return to their home country due to a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion.
- The Convention emphasizes non-discrimination, the right to work, and access to education and public services.
