Mixed migration flows:

A movement in which several people are travelling together, generally in an irregular manner, using the same routes and means of transport, but for different reasons. People travelling as part of mixed movements have varying needs and profiles and may include asylum seekers, refugees, trafficked persons, unaccompanied/separated children, and migrants in an irregular situation.

Freedom of movement (right to):

Within the context of free movement agreements, the freedom of movement refers to the right of entry into and residence in another State that is a party to the agreement.

Feminization of migration:
