INTRODUCTION
UNHCR has long upheld age, gender and diversity (AGD) mainstreaming as an essential approach to understand and respond to the needs of all persons of concern. UNHCR makes considerable efforts in Europe to integrate AGD considerations both in operational planning, programme implementation and while engaging with governments in protection, advocacy and legal interventions. This report highlights a range of initiatives across the region in 2017 and 2018 to illustrate this.
Geneva – IOM, the UN Migration Agency, reports that 106,269 migrants and refugees entered Europe by sea in 2018 through 25 November. Spain topped 51,984 – more irregular arrivals to Spain through this point in 2018 than all arrivals during the past three years combined (see Table 6)
Throughout 2018, UNHCR has provided Individual Protection Assistance (IPA) as a part of its wider protection response. IPAs are a one-time cash or non-cash assistance provided to vulnerable persons with specific protection needs, which prevent their exposure to further risks and rights violations. For more information on IPAs, refer to page 8
D’après l’Agence des Nations Unies chargée des migrations, 104.506 migrants et réfugiés sont arrivés en Europe par la mer en date du 18 novembre 2018.

En fait, l’Espagne a accueilli, en 2018, plus de « migrants irréguliers » que durant toutes les années 2015, 2016 et 2017 combinées.
