We ...Together
18 December is International Migrants Day, a day to remember migrants and reiterate the need to respect the rights and dignity of all human beings. It is a day to recognize the estimated 272 million migrants that are integral members of our societies, and to celebrate migrants’ contributions to our humanity. This year, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) focuses on social cohesion in recognition of migrants and the communities in which they can, and do, flourish. We learn, create, work, sing, dance and play together. We live together. Let's salute and support them. We pledge to make the future we believe in arrive for all of us.
