    (d) Interactive Roundtable: Strengthening evidence-based policymaking, public debate and cooperation for safe, orderly and regular migration (addressing objectives 1, 3, 7, 17 and 23) 15:30 – 17:00 pm, 11 March 2021 (Bangkok time) Delivered by Fathimath Himya, Secretary General, Maldivian Red Crescent Good morning, good afternoon and thank you for inviting me to participate in this important Roundtable discussion and contribute perspectives from Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies across the Asia Pacific Region. I am the Secretary General of the Maldivian Red Crescent, one of the world’s 192 Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies. The world’s largest humanitarian network, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is founded on our 14 million community-based volunteers working in their own local contexts. Present at the community level, we witness the enormous suffering that many migrants face during their migration experiences - before departure, while in transit, while abroad and upon return. As an exclusively neutral humanitarian organisation, our aim is to respond to humanitarian needs and reduce suffering, without seeking to encourage, discourage or prevent migration. During our engagement with the GCM negotiations, we came together as a Movement, at the national, regional and global levels. We insisted that the Compact could not succeed in fostering “safe, orderly and regular migration” without also outlining basic minimum standards of human dignity that must be afforded to all migrants - irrespective of their status. We have called upon States to respect their obligations under international as well as domestic law. Our advocacy is focused on 4 humanitarian priorities: 1.
