Migrant Rights Report Launch: Barriers to realising economic, social and cultural rights for migrants in Scotland

This report provides an overview of the significant hurdles faced by migrants in Scotland in relation to housing, education and employment rights.

The findings underscore a complex interplay of systemic, financial, informational, and discriminatory issues that profoundly impact the well-being of migrants and hinder the realisation of their full potential. The report highlights interconnected challenges and includes proposals for integrated solutions that will foster a more equitable and supportive environment for migrants in Scotland. It describes how systemic pressures accumulate across sectors, shaping migrants’ opportunities, well-being, and capacity to thrive.

The report is intended to strengthen understanding of these interconnected issues and support the development of coordinated equitable solutions. It calls for systemic change that not only addresses immediate barriers but also upholds the agency of affected communities and creates a more inclusive and supportive environment for all.
