Migration is often misunderstood or deliberately misled, fostering stereotypes that violate human dignity. On this day dedicated to the protection of migrants' rights, we reaffirm our commitment to bringing these often invisible voices to the fore, notably through our collaboration with the IOM - UN Migration and Platform for Undocumented Migrants (PICUM) on migrant rights. We also recall that the Convention on the Rights of Migrant Workers, adopted in 1990, has not been ratified by any Western immigration country, as they prefer to ignore it..... Let's build bridges, not walls. Many thanks to all the organizations working to protect migrants. If this topic matters to you, you can get involved in organisations such as : FORIM - réseau des diasporas solidaires, Geres, Asmae - Association Soeur Emmanuelle, Initiative Développement - ONG, Grdr Migration-Citoyenneté-Développement If you want to discover our work, we’ll publish these 2 videos in comments.

🌍 Today, on International Migrants Day, we honor the resilience, dreams, and contributions of migrants worldwide. 🕊️ While migration is a story of hope, it also comes with challenges: exploitation, forced labour, and human trafficking affect millions, especially women, children, and marginalized groups. Let’s take action: ✔️ Advocate for policies that protect migrant rights. ✔️ Support inclusive and diverse communities. ✔️ Amplify migrant voices to combat stereotypes. Together, we can build a world of dignity and opportunity for all. #InternationalMigrantsDay #HumanRights #Solidarity

📌 The EU Migration and Asylum Pact, adopted in May 2024, aims to streamline the handling of migration and asylum seekers across member states.
