1) Monitoring and advocacy towards EU policies on social rights, migration policy, labour rights, health, victim’s rights, gender equality and child rights.
PICUM works to ensure that EU priorities on migration are compatible with its objectives on quality and sustainable employment, adequate and decent social protection, combating social exclusion and poverty, and improving working conditions. PICUM regularly interacts with EU institutions to advocate for the inclusion of the human rights of migrants in EU policies. This includes, for example, advocacy towards in connection with the proposed recast of the Single Permit Directive; working with the EMN Return Expert group on alternatives to detention and deportation of children and people with vulnerabilities; meetings with MEPs on various policy and legislative files under the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum. PICUM regularly participates in strategic civil dialogue meetings organized by DG Employment. PICUM also follows the EU Victims of Crime policies and participates in meetings of the Victims’ Rights Platform, and meetings with the EU Coordinator on Victims’ Rights on safe reporting for undocumented victims of crime, anti-racism and gender-based violence.
2) Produce research and analysis concerning ongoing EU policy processes shaping the living and working situation of people with an insecure or irregular residence status.
Credible data and analysis on the living and working situation of undocumented migrants, alongside the articulation and promotion of good practices underpins PICUM’s efforts to influence the policy agenda and facilitate civil society engagement in key EU-driven processes on social protection and social inclusion. All recent publications can be consulted on www.picum.org.

3) Supporting members and stakeholders through capacity building and transnational implementation of good practice, awareness raising, and the development of innovative tools.
PICUM provides regular information on EU migration, social and employment policy issues, offers opportunities for strategic engagement at the EU and global levels, and convenes spaces for exchange and mutual learning among members. PICUM seeks to support members to address the daily social exclusion challenges, build collective analysis regarding EU and global trends, and highlight the positive impact of EU instruments addressing poverty and discrimination. PICUM is also working with members to facilitate meaningful participation of people with lived experience in our network, across all aspects of our work.

As the only European civil society network focused exclusively on the social situation of migrants with an insecure or irregular status, PICUM represents the concerns of millions of migrants living and working in situations of extreme poverty and social exclusion and those providing them services.

PICUM envisions a Europe in which discrimination and inequality are addressed, where EU-led processes are supported and grounded in local realities, and where civil society, policy makers and social partners work together to produce positive policy outcomes. PICUM works to improve policies by ensuring equality and non-discrimination for all irrespective of origin or status, and by providing solid data and analysis on the harmful impacts of certain migration enforcement practices on EU social inclusion objectives.

PICUM promotes respect for the basic social rights of undocumented migrants, such as the right to health care, the right to shelter, the right to education and training, the right to a minimum subsistence, the right to family life, the right to moral and physical integrity, the right to legal aid, and the right to fair working conditions.

Through a range of activities, events, reports and policy documents, PICUM aims to inform policy makers, civil society organisations and the general public about the situation facing undocumented migrants. PICUM’s awareness raising strategy fights an atmosphere in Europe of increasing public hostility and entrenched impunity for systematic violations of undocumented migrants’ fundamental rights.
