The study makes an overview of the migrants irregular status and the state service’s response. The report in particularly focuses on women, identifying gender based violence and human trafficking risks. The study was conducted by Dijana Malbasa and Vanja Macanovic from the Autonomous Women’s Center.
As a reminder, the Council of Europe’s Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence, in Chapter VII – Migration and Asylum, in three articles, prescribes the standards for residence status (Article 59), gender based request for asylum (Article 60) and a ban on deportation, that is, of returning the person in question to where he/she came from (Article 61).
