The migration crisis has reached unprecedented levels, disproportionately affecting marginalized populations, who face systemic inequalities and heightened social exclusion. Understanding the interplay between migration and these communities is crucial for addressing barriers to social inclusion and equity. The proposed scoping review aims to map the literature on the relationship between migration and marginalized populations, as understanding this relationship is key to identifying targeted interventions and addressing social inequities more effectively. This research will be performed via PECO structure and search strategies in multidisciplinary and specific databases. Studies on marginalized communities and migration, focus on social barriers and challenges and include quantitative, qualitative and mixed studies. The review will be conducted between September and October 2025, using multidisciplinary databases such as Scopus and Web of Science, as well as specialized sources including PubMed, Embase, and CINAHL. The inclusion criteria include original peer-reviewed articles, studies with a sample of migrants, vulnerable communities, and those examining migration barriers. Two reviewers will conduct the data analysis independently, and the results will be synthesized to identify effective interventions and recommendations for public policies. The review will identify gaps in knowledge, offering future research guidelines. The findings will not only guide future research but also support policymakers and organizations in developing tailored strategies to mitigate the adverse effects of migration on vulnerable communities, fostering sustainable and equitable social practices worldwide
