The Jesuit Migrant Service (SJM) in Spain has once again published its Annual Report. 2021 has been a year marked by global challenges that affect human mobility and the work of organizations that accompany migrants: a greater risk taken by people seeking international protection due to the lack of safe and legal means of access; increasing violence at European borders; and a high level of social vulnerability of people in an irregular administrative situation, which hinders their social inclusion processes.

The entities that make up the SJM network have accompanied 37,012 people during 2021 in the four main areas that make up the intervention model: protection of rights (CIE and Southern Border areas); reception (psychosocial, legal, training and employment accompaniment); hospitality (residential programmes and creation of community fabric); and construction of citizenship (participation, interreligious dialogue, awareness-raising, etc.). These areas form the "migrant path" through which people pass on their journey towards autonomy and full inclusion.

From the SJM network we would like to thank all the people and institutions that make it possible to continue advancing in the fulfilment of our mission: volunteers, technical teams, financial collaborators who guarantee the sustainability of our action of accompanying, serving and defending migrants and refugees.
