Section VI
----------
Please provide a description of the pledge:
I am Anisur Rahman Khan, a returnee migrant working with IMA Research Foundation and Awaj Foundation too.
Please don't misunderstand me. I know that governments, UN agencies, international organizations, civil society, and mayoral panels all have thousands of qualified people. But we migrant workers are not as knowledgeable as you. Although it seems at times, there are some gaps in other respects, there also needs to be highlighted. However, as a returnee migrant, I feel my discussion should be within us.

I repeat it again, if you want to do something for migrants, you have to do it including migrants, i. e. Nothing migrants, without migrants. These informal and less privileged migrants should be well organized during the period of 2022-24. They have to be empowered as per objective # 16 of GCM, " Empower Migrants and Society to realize inclusion and cohesion. As they are backward groups, special attention should be given to them. Placing migrants at all the discussion tables and forums, especially in the panel, will empower them. We want to see migrants' representation at the Dias at the next 2024 IMRF conference along with representatives from other professions.
