About this Dataset

Missing Migrants Project

Context

Missing Migrants Project tracks deaths of migrants, including refugees and asylum-seekers, who have gone missing along mixed migration routes worldwide. The research behind this project began with the October 2013 tragedies, when at least 368 individuals died in two shipwrecks near the Italian island of Lampedusa. Since then, Missing Migrants Project has developed into an important hub and advocacy source of information that media, researchers, and the general public access for the latest information.
With a count surpassing 60,000 over the last two decades, IOM calls on all the world’s governments to address what it describes as “an epidemic of crime and abuse."
Missing Migrants Project is a joint initiative of IOM's Global Migration Data Analysis Centre (GMDAC) and Media and Communications Division (MCD). GMDAC has also published three reports on this issue: Fatal Journeys: Tracking Lives Lost during Migration, Fatal Journeys Volume 2: Identification and Tracing of Dead and Missing Migrants. A third volume was published in two parts in 2017, Fatal Journeys Volume 3 Part 1: Improving Data on Missing Migrants, and Volume 3 Part 2: Improving Data on Missing Migrants.

Content

Missing Migrants Project tracks deaths of migrants, including refugees and asylum-seekers, who have died or gone missing in the process of migration towards an international destination. Please note that these data represent minimum estimates, as many deaths during migration go unrecorded.
We strongly encourage users to read more about our methodology before using this data.

Inspiration

I hope that monitoring these tragic events and studying the data relating to them can help to avoid a recurrence of these. We are all human beings.
