Myria is an independent public institution with three mandates: promoting the fight against trafficking and smuggling of human beings, informing the authorities about the nature and extent of migratory flows and protecting the fundamental rights of foreign nationals. It is the Belgian independent National Rapporteur on trafficking in human beings.
Myria works to ensure that the basic rights of foreigners are respected, through field observations and by carefully following the complex legislation that regulates this issue. It gives recommendations to public authorities and civil society.
On the one hand, Myria examines and follows the evolution of migration movements, focusing on their nature and characteristics. It provides public authorities, civil society, and wider society with accurate information on migration movements (both inward and outward) and residence of foreign nationals. Our role is chiefly to publish demographics and studies around specific issues.
Myria is the independent National Rapporteur that analyses trafficking and smuggling of human beings in Belgium. It evaluates the policy in the fight against both phenomenons.
Myria is publishing the English version of its 2023 evaluation report, entitled ‘A chain of responsibilities’. With a focus on human trafficking for the purpose of labour exploitation, Myria is calling for more proactive checks and a thorough chain approach.
