Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants (PICUM)
EU Transparency Register
19093363838-48 First registered on 08 Jul 2010
Goals / Remit
PICUM - the Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants, is a non-governmental organisation (NGO) that aims to promote respect for the human rights of undocumented migrants within Europe. PICUM also seeks dialogue and collaboration with organisations and networks with similar concerns in other parts of the world.
PICUM provides a link between the local and the Europea level, reporting and advocating on issues regarding undocumented migrants based on its members’ experiences and simultaneously monitors developments within the European institutions affecting undocumented people. This approach mainstreams undocumented migrants' concerns into key policy debates, ensures PICUM’s network is well informed of the EU agenda and develops their capacity to engage in the realisation of just and fair policies and practices affecting undocumented migrants.Main EU files targeted
EU MIGRATION AGENDA
Promoting the implementation of migration policies and practices that reduce vulnerabilities and improve social inclusion of people at risk of expulsion due to their precarious migration status. Together with governments, the Commission and national NGOs, designing and implementing pilot initiatives that help resolve people’s immigration status while remaining in the community, without resorting to detention which causes social exclusion and harm in the short and long term.
Gathering data and evidence on return procedures and their alternatives, and assessing their impact on the well-being and future outlook of persons.
Promoting migration procedures that are in the best interests of the children concerned and result in durable solutions.
Working, with CSOs and governments, towards the implementation of the 2017 Communication on the Protection of Children in Migration.
Following the preparation of EU regulations on EU funds promoting migrants’ inclusion and access to services, and the policy frameworks that deliver the funding, including relevant EU Action Plans and strategies.
Contributing to EU policy debates and processes around regular migration, with a focus on increasing and improving labour migration pathways to promote decent work and social inclusion.
ACCESS TO JUSTICE
Supporting implementation of the EU Victims' Directive, particularly with regards to its application to undocumented victims of crime.
Supporting implementation of the EU Anti-Racism Action Plan, including to improve access to justice for and reduce discrimination against undocumented people.
Promoting awareness of the rights of victims who are undocumented, and how to effectively implement those rights, as defined and required by EU and international law.
VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN
Supporting implementation of the EU’s action plan on gender equality and the EU’s directive on violence against women, particularly as regards the inclusion of undocumented women; as well as the EU’s ratification and implementation of the Istanbul convention.
Promoting awareness about the barriers faced by undocumented women in accessing support and services.
REDUCING HEALTH INEQUALITIES IN THE EU
Promoting health-related policies and actions at the EU land national levels around equitable access to health services, regardless of migration status.
Increasing understanding and awareness of the impact of policies outside of the health sector on migrants’ safety and health, the relationship between residence status and social exclusion, and of the potential to address social determinants of health by integrating a rights- and health-based perspective across areas of EU policymaking.
INVESTING IN CHILDREN
Coordinating joint advocacy to advance policies and practices that address child poverty and social exclusion by embedding child rights, the 2013 Investing in Children Recommendation, the 2021 Child Guarantee (proposal) and the comprehensive Child Rights Strategy (2021-2025).
FAIR WORKING CONDITIONS
Promoting mechanisms that enable all workers regardless of status to enjoy fair, safe and secure working conditions, file a complaint and access remedies in cases of exploitation.
Contributing to EU policy processes that impact rights of migrant workers, including EU policies and actions on agricultural and food, sustainable corporate governance, trafficking in human beings, care and ageing, labour rights, permits and undeclared work.
Addressing the particular risks of discrimination and exploitation faced by workers linked to their gender and type of work.
EUROPEAN PILLAR OF SOCIAL RIGHTS (EPSR)
PICUM serves as a bridge between the EU’s social agenda and migration agenda, bringing the realities of migrants into the social inclusion agenda, including the EPSR Action Plan, while also mainstreaming concerns regarding employment, health, children, access to services and social cohesion into the migration policy debate.Address

Communication activities
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.

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
