Migration and migrant movement are one of the most contested phenomena in the contemporary world due to the large-scale displacement of the people across the globe due to socio-political unrest in the form of wars, internal rebellions, and political upheaval. It led to the scenario of people's movement across the borders in search of better living conditions and safety. However, the aspect of immigration and immigrant integration and assimilation is not a conducive process, and the immigrants must overcome a lot of socio-political hurdles and hardships for the assimilation and integration into the host society. Regarding the actors facilitating immigrant integration, one of the significant actors is the NGOs, which facilitates the integration of the immigrants into society. These facilitate through the mechanisms of advocacy measures. In this scenario, this article tries to find out how the NGO's facilitates immigrant integration and assimilation in Lithuania and what are the mechanisms they employ for immigrant integration and assimilation. The task includes analyzing the qualitative interview conducted with NGO Europos Namai, who are voicing for the rights of immigrants and envisaging measures for migrant integration through their lobbying, education, awareness, cultural integration, and media mechanisms. By analyzing the interview and data sets on immigration in Lithuania, this paper aims to find out how does the NGOs act as a facilitating force for political debates, communication, political decision making, and to create a favourable environment for immigration integration into the Lithuanian society. The primary interpretation is that the third sector organizations play a significant role in the migrant integration into the society, and these possible findings could be made useful for other regions and countries where they are migrant influx and still lack conducive mechanisms for immigrant integration.

Migration and migrant movement are a global scenario, in which one of the main drivers, which facilitates migrant movement, is the search for better living conditions. One of the most vulnerable communities in this regard is migrant workers, especially in the developing world, who conduct cross-country migration. Labour migration is a significant national phenomenon in India in which the workers migrate across the states, which were facilitated by the interstate movement. The recent outbreak of pandemic COVID-19 poses the greatest challenge to the migrant workers who face the challenge of displacement due to the restriction of movement and public perception. One of the significant actors facilitating public discourse is the media, which explores the migrant scenario through framing. This article analyzes how the Indian newspaper portrays the plight of the migrant workers in Kerala through media framing using qualitative case analysis. The study reveals that the media frames portray the plight of the migrant workers during the pandemic situation, and the result could be helpful for policy developers on immigrant's integration.

Migration is a significant human phenomenon in which the people were moving across the globe in search of better living conditions. However, due to the violent political scenario between nations forced the displacement of millions of people for survival and currently, around 70.8 million people have been displaced across the world (UNHCR, 2019). It requires attention that even though there are various organisation's to support migrants, NGO's play a pivotal role in protecting humanitarian aspects of the migrants and their integration. About the NGO mechanisms, the significant measures are the lobbying and the mediatised political communication for effective policy changes. Therefore, it is significant to identify how NGO's influence on political communication and policy decision making using social media platforms and lobbying mechanism in the state of Florida in the United States. The article aims to identify the role of NGO on addressing the migrant crisis and upholding of sanctuary policy in Florida which facilitates migrant integration. Research methods include a qualitative interview with the Florida Immigrant Coalition and their social media discourse. The finding could be useful for effective immigrant integration and the significant policy measures needed for facilitating migrant integration.
War, domestic violence, and economic instability in a country force its residents to flee their homeland and their place of birth to a different part of the world to save their lives, and around 70.8 million people have been displaced across the world (UNHCR, 2019). It is also a fundamental fact that women and children who have fled in this manner have been subject to various forms of violence and torture during their journey. Refugees are increasingly interested in emigrating to the United States of America, given the political and economic importance of the nation. Nevertheless, the United States has a strict legal system in place to prevent uncontrolled immigration, and hence the refugees face a variety of problems in order to travel to it. Refugees, particularly those travelling tens of thousands of kilometres are from Central American countries, Africa, Iran, and Syria, have arrived inmany towns along the US-Mexico border. Increasing numbers of refugees force governments of the receiving countries to provide accommodation, food, and other facilities, which causes an inevitable financial crisis in the receiving regions. In such cases, the non-governmental organizations (NGOs) play a significant role in helping refugees with various types of assistance, and it is important to analyze the human rights activities of NGOs. NGOs have been a lobbyist in influencing legislators through a variety of political consultations and creating laws that protect refugees. It is crucial that NGOs can influence the Government level and various types of Cabinet Meetings, to study the issues of refugees and provide different kinds of possible support and assistance through their advocacy activities. The influence of the new media technologies in this twenty-first century has increased the opportunity to understand the lives of different people from different parts of the world and conduct various socio-political debates on global issues, such as the refugee crisis. Therefore, we need to evaluate the role of the social media of NGOs as a lobbyist in advocacy on addressing the refugee crisis. The article aims to identify the role of NGOs in addressing the migrant crisis and upholding the sanctuary policy in Florida that facilitates migrant integration. Research methods include a qualitative interview with the Florida Immigrant Coalition (FIC) and analyzing its social media discourse. The anti-sanctuary bill passed by the Florida state legislature were analysed; the analysis shows that the advocacy for the refugee crisis by NGOs using social media platforms increases civic participation. Such activism has a significant role in influencing policy framework on combating the crisis of refugee integration.

Visame pasaulyje iš įprastų gyvenamųjų vietų perkėlė apie 70,8 mln. žmonių (UNHCR, 2019). Svarbu paminėti, kad kelionės metu moterys ir vaikai dažniau nei vyrai patiria smurtą, kankinimus. Vis daugiau pabėgėlių prašosi prieglobsčio Jungtinėse Amerikos Valstijose (JAV) dėl šalies politinės ir ekonominės svarbos pasaulyje. Nepaisant to, JAV galioja griežta teisinė sistema, skirta užkirsti kelią nekontroliuojamai imigracijai, todėl pabėgėliai, norėdami atvykti į šalį, susiduria su įvairiomis problemomis. Pabėgėliai, ypač keliaujantys dešimtimis tūkstančių kilometrų iš Centrinės Amerikos šalių, Afrikos, Irano ir Sirijos, atvyko į daugelį miestų, esančių palei JAV ir Meksikos sieną. Didėjantis pabėgėlių skaičius verčia priimančiųjų šalių vyriausybes aprūpinti apgyvendinimu, maistu ir kitomis priemonėmis, o tai sukelia neišvengiamą finansinę krizę juos priimančiuose regionuose. Tokiais atvejais nevyriausybinės organizacijos (NVO) vaidina svarbų vaidmenį teikdamos pabėgėliams įvairių rūšių pagalbą, todėl svarbu išanalizuoti NVO veiklą žmogaus teisių srityje. NVO veikia kaip lobistai, norėdami paveikti įstatymų leidėjus per įvairias politines konsultacijas ir kurdami įstatymus, saugančius pabėgėlius. Labai svarbu, kad NVO galėtų daryti įtaką vyriausybės lygiui ir įvairių tipų ministrų kabineto susitikimams, išsiaiškinti pabėgėlių klausimus ir suteikti įvairią paramą bei atstovauti pabėgėlius. Naujų žiniasklaidos technologijų įtaka dvidešimt pirmame amžiuje padidino galimybę suprasti skirtingų žmonių iš skirtingų pasaulio šalių gyvenimus ir vesti įvairius socialinius bei politinius debatus globaliais klausimais, tokiais kaip pabėgėlių krizė. Todėl turime įvertinti NVO socialinės žiniasklaidos, kaip lobisto, vaidmenį analizuojant pabėgėlių krizę. Straipsnyje siekiama nustatyti NVO vaidmenį sprendžiant migrantų krizę ir palaikant prieglobsčio politiką Floridoje, palengvinančią migrantų integraciją. Tyrimo metodai apima kokybinį interviu su Floridos imigrantų koalicija (FIC) ir jos socialinės žiniasklaidos diskurso analizę. Buvo išanalizuotas Floridos valstijos įstatymai susiję su prieglobsčio klausimais. Analizė rodo, kad nevyriausybinės organizacijos, naudodamos socialinės žiniasklaidos platformas, gina pabėgėlių krizę, skatina pilietinį aktyvumą. Toks aktyvumas vaidina svarbų vaidmenį darant įtaką politinei kovai su pabėgėlių integracijos krize.
