Individuals
The everyday work of BVMN is sustained by a team of coordinators and a big group of remote and on-site volunteers.
BVMN operates through a collaborative and horizontal structure, fostering inclusivity and collective decision-making. Our is work is divided across dedicated working groups, each contributing to the mission of the Network:
- Advocacy and Legal Teams: Driving policy changes, pursuing accountability through litigation, and influencing international frameworks.
- Field Team: Documenting human rights violations through direct testimonies and other forms of data collection, and supporting advocacy efforts.
- Research and Investigations Team: Conducting interdisciplinary studies on border regimes, displacement, and surveillance.
- Communications Team: Amplifying BVMN’s work through media outreach, social media management, and public engagement.
- Finance and Administration Team: Managing HR, grants, and financial operations to ensure organizational stability.
BVMN values transparency, collaboration, and well-being, supporting all team members with training, a burnout prevention program, and a strong culture of collective responsibility. Whether remote or on-site, everyone contributes to a shared mission of advocating for the rights of people on the move.
