Transcultural Nurses as “ <i>Voices of the Voiceless</i> ”: Transcultural Nursing Society Migration Special Interest Group
Members of the Transcultural Nursing Society (TCNS) mobilized a Migration Special Interest Group (MigSIG) to address the rising reports of human rights abuses and lack of basic resources for migrants worldwide. Migrants are some of the most vulnerable populations. This paper outlines the role of nurses as a "voice" or advocate for the most vulnerable. The paper identifies the challenges health providers face in caring for migrants and offers resources, strategies, and toolkits for nurses and providers who care for and intersect with those who migrate.
