Vision Statement:

To become a leading organization that promote, protect, and advocate the rights of migrants, refugee, and asylum seekers across the world.

ARMA has a vision of just society free of xenophobic, racist, and sexist violence and behaviour, particularly that against asylum seekers, refugees, and international migrants in South Africa and worldwide. 

In doing so, focus is placed upon the protection, empowerment, and upliftment of these displaced, disadvantaged, and vulnerable persons, assisting them in achieving human rights, safety, and a sustainable, sound livelihood and well-being. With an inherent understanding of the difficulties faced by these communities and families, ARMA seeks to dismantle the various forms of abuse and injustices experienced, to empower them towards objective survival in terms of economics and human rights endowed to them, but additionally to ensure their development, growth, and societal participation – these being towards a more subjective sense of well-being.
