In their own words

“The Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants (PICUM) is a Brussels-based network of 155 organisations working across 32 countries to ensure social rights and social inclusion for undocumented migrants in Europe.”

“As the only European civil society network focused exclusively on the social situation of people with an insecure or irregular status, PICUM's work concerns millions of people living and working in what often are extreme forms of poverty, discrimination, abuse and social exclusion and those providing them services or advocating for their rights. PICUM was founded as a non-profit organisation under Belgian law in 2001 by a small number of local and national organisations working with migrants facing poverty and marginalisation to serve as a voice on their social inclusion and rights at EU-level and as a space for translational learning and exchange.”
