Migrants on the Move: The Multifaceted Violation of Human Rights in the Process of Migration

Abstract

Most studies conducted in relation to international migration from Ethiopia to the
Middle East focus on trafficking, causes of migration and human rights violations
faced in destination countries. Deviating from this trend and adopting an
ethnographic research method, the research assesses the socia-economic pro.flle of
the migrants and what the different push/pull factors are. It also studies the major
process in which migrants pass through and institutions that are involved in
facilitating the process. It questions the violation of rights and challenges faced by
migrants based on the narration of the migrants themselves. To assess the
aforementioned issues, the study employed a number of research methods which
generated ample data of a predominantly qualitative nature. The study mainly
used case studies drawing on both primary and secondary sources .
