Asia Pacific Mission for Migrants (APMM)

The Asia Pacific Mission for Migrants (APMM) is a registered non-profit limited company with charitable status in Hong Kong and was founded in 1984 as a regional research, advocacy, and movement building organization for the Asia Pacific and Middle East (APME) regions.

In the 30 years since its founding, APMM has adapted to the changing times while still maintaining its purpose; to serve those who migrate to other countries in search of a better life. APMM supports the migrant movement through advocacy, organizing and building partnership and solidarity for the advancement of migrants’ rights and welfare

APMM assisted and contributed to the establishment of grassroots migrants formations in our focus areas (Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Qatar) and working closely with various organizations in some major sending countries (Indonesia, Philippines, Bangladesh and Vietnam) including other institutions and grassroots organizations outside of the Asia Pacific region which led to the formation of MIGRANTE International, the global alliance of Filipino migrants organizations.

APMM is currently the secretariat of International Migrants Alliance, AMMORE or Action Network for Marriage Migrants Rights and Empowerment and the United for Foreign Domestic Workers Network (UFDWR).
