This article contributes to the debates on migrant social protection assemblages by assessing enabling factors that provide migrants with opportunities to organise their social protection in changing environments. In-depth interviews with migrants who use services from several migrant organisations (MOs) were conducted to study their largely neglected roles in social protection practices. Our findings indicate that MOs are important actors in the field of social protection, as they offer a variety of social services specifically tailored to migrants' needs, while concomitantly supporting them in developing a sense of belonging. Specifically, we identify three functions with which they enable their members to access and accumulate a range of resources relevant to protecting themselves against basic social risks: their networking, consulting, and familiarising functions. In doing so, we also draw attention to the connections between social protection strategies and evolving belongingness. Our findings confirm that MOs are multifunctional and highly responsive to individual needs and are therefore important actors in the field of social protection.

移民组织、归属感和社会保护。移民组织在移民社会风险规避策略中的作用

本文通过评估为移民提供在不断变化的环境中组织社会保护的机会的有利因素，为关于移民社会保护组合的辩论做出了贡献。我们对使用多个移民组织（MO）服务的移民进行了深入访谈，以研究他们在社会保护实践中很大程度上被忽视的作用。我们的研究结果表明，移民组织是社会保护领域的重要参与者，因为它们提供专门针对移民需求的各种社会服务，同时支持他们培养归属感。具体来说，我们确定了三个功能，使他们的成员能够访问和积累一系列与保护自己免受基本社会风险相关的资源：他们的网络、咨询、并熟悉功能。在此过程中，我们还提请人们注意社会保护战略与不断变化的归属感之间的联系。我们的研究结果证实，管理机构具有多功能性，并且对个人需求高度敏感，因此是社会保护领域的重要参与者。
