Connecting Climate Justice & Migrant Justice: A Guide to Countering Dangerous Narratives

by Climate Advocacy Lab

2023

Available in English

This guide explores how climate-linked migration is often framed in harmful, dehumanizing ways that undermine both climate and migrant justice. It warns against narratives that portray migrants as threats to provoke urgency around climate action, arguing that such messaging reinforces xenophobia and militarized responses. Instead, the guide advocates for justice-based communication that centers human dignity, highlights systemic causes of displacement, and promotes solidarity. It offers practical strategies for advocates to counter fear-based narratives and build a more inclusive, intersectional climate movement.

Migrant women: Narratives and perceptions

by Eleni Diker, Sydney Cohee, and Natalia Kossowska

2025

Available in English

This joint policy brief by UN Women and Oxfam explores how narratives about migrant women are shaped and why they matter. Using the Stereotype Content Model, it examines how public perceptions — from pity to admiration or contempt — influence visibility, rights, and well‑being. The brief highlights harmful frames across contexts and offers practical guidance for governments, media, and civil society to reshape narratives through gender‑responsive, human‑rights‑based storytelling.
