PCK for the benefit of migrants
In the Working Group on cooperation with non-governmental organizations at MSWiA, the plan for implementing Poland's Migration Strategy for the years 2025–2030 was discussed. The ongoing legislative actions concerning tightening the visa system, allowing foreigners access to the labor market, and higher education were also summarized. The issue of suspending the right to asylum at the Polish-Belarusian border was also raised.
PCK is conducting a range of activities for refugees and migrants, intensified especially after the migration crisis at the Belarusian border in 2021, and then after the outbreak of the armed conflict in Ukraine. This is not only humanitarian aid but also social support, integration activities, and assistance in searching for relatives with whom contact was lost, among others, during migration.
Poland's migration policy with the participation of non-governmental organizations
In October 2024, the Council of Ministers adopted Poland's migration strategy for the years 2025-2030. It addresses areas such as: access to territories, access to national and international protection, the labor market, educational migrations, integration, citizenship, repatriation, and the Polish diaspora. In implementing the strategy, especially in the area of integration, the participation of non-governmental organizations such as the Polish Red Cross has been foreseen. According to the strategy's provisions, in cooperation with local governments and secular and church entities, a limited program of 'humanitarian stays' for foreigners will be developed, which is meant to respond to the need for creating legal migration channels.
According to estimates provided in the strategy, around 2.3-2.5 million foreigners live in Poland, whose stay can be classified as long-term.
