Migration Assylum
Project
Migration & Asylum Project (MAP) is India’s first dedicated law centre for forced migration and displacement. Started in 2013, it seeks to end the marginalisation of one of the most vulnerable communities in the world - migrants and refugees – by making Rule of Law central to addressing human rights challenges and ensuring grassroots justice.
In March, 2021, MAP won the Ockenden International Prize, 2021, awarded to organisations working towards promoting self-reliance amongst displaced populations.
