Welcome to SOMISA – the Securitization of Migration in South Asia: Implications for Rohingyas.

Mission:
The mission of the project is to critically examine the securitization of migration in South Asia, with a specific focus on the Rohingya refugee crisis. It aims to assess how security-driven policies in the region affect the lives and rights of Rohingyas and to promote a shift towards more inclusive, human rights-based approaches to migration and refugee protection. Through research, advocacy, and policy recommendations, the project seeks to highlight the challenges faced by displaced communities and encourage regional cooperation to ensure their safety and well-being.
