Migrant Action Trust goes to Nepal!
Migrant Action Trust is pleased to announce that we will be attending the 6th Global Assembly of the International Migrants Alliance, happening on 24-26 October 2025, in Kathmandu, Nepal. Since joining the Alliance in 2022, we have actively collaborated with colleagues across the globe to advocate for the rights and welfare of migrants, refugees, trafficked peoples, asylum seekers, and to campaign against forced migration.
This year’s Global Assembly will focus on the theme: "DEFEND MIGRANTS' RIGHTS, LIVELIHOOD, LIVES AND MOVEMENT: Strengthen and expand IMA! Unite with working and oppressed people against imperialism!"
We are excited to share this update because the Assembly is open not only to members but also to observers. We warmly welcome Aotearoa-based community organizations and advocates from diverse communities to attend and observe this important gathering.

Tauiwi for Te Tiriti!
Last Saturday, 27 September 2025, we had such an awesome day at our FREE Te Tiriti Workshop held at Wesley & RYZ Centre. We were so happy to see around 19 participants come along and take part.
Together with our partners Tangata Tiriti - Treaty People, we spent the day learning, reflecting, and having really meaningful conversations about Te Tiriti o Waitangi/The Treaty of Waitangi. For many, it was a chance to understand Te Tiriti for the very first time; for others, it was an opportunity to go deeper and reflect on what it means in our everyday lives here in Aotearoa.
Workshops like this are so important because they give newcomers accessible opportunities to connect, learn, and feel more at home. Seeing everyone so engaged reminded us why this mahi matters.
A huge thank you as well to our amazing Migrant Action Trust volunteers who helped make the day run smoothly—you are the heart of our community mahi.
Big thanks to everyone who joined us—you made the day inspiring and full of learning!
