18th December - World Migrant Day

 "Migration has always been with us. Climate change, demographics, instability, growing inequalities, and aspirations for a better life, as well as unmet needs in labour markets, mean it is here to stay. The answer is effective international cooperation in managing migration to ensure that its benefits are most widely distributed, and that the human rights of all concerned are properly protected." UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres 

How would a day without migrants look like? Contrary to what some may believe, migrants play a vital role in the global economy.
