The editors extend their sincere thanks to the essayists and interviewees whose time, perspectives and insights have greatly enriched this report. We are deeply appreciative of the 4Mi enumerators, who each day gather data with dedication and care, documenting not only the often difficult and harrowing realities of migration but also its moments of resilience and hope. Above all, we are especially grateful to people on the move who have generously shared their stories. Their voices are central to deepening our understanding of migration, strengthening advocacy for the rights of all people on the move and informing better migration policies and responses.

Finally, special thanks to the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Robert Bosch Stiftung for their funding and support of this report.
