Within the framework of the project, «Provision of Support and Aid to Migrant Workers, and Securing of their Integration in Society» (the donor: the European Commission), a new site has been created – nelegalmigrant.ru – devoted to the issue of illegal migrants. The main mission of the site is to consolidate civil society in support and protection of migrants' rights and to foster a tolerant attitude towards migrants. The right of migration is among the fundamental human rights. This right is acknowledged and measures are being taken to enforce it in the countries of the European Community, including the Russian Federation.

The creation of the site was necessitated by a number of circumstances relating to illegal migrants in Russia and aims to increase the level of legal education and awareness of the problem, and foster tolerance among migrants as well as among Russian citizens.
