International Migrants Day

International Migrants Day, established by the United Nations in 2000, serves as a global platform to raise awareness about the human rights and fundamental freedoms of migrants. Observed annually on December 18th, this day encourages Member States, intergovernmental organizations, and non-governmental organizations to disseminate information to the public, highlighting the challenges and contributions of migrants worldwide. Through advocacy, education, and dialogue, International Migrants Day aims to promote greater understanding, empathy, and respect for the rights and dignity of migrants, fostering inclusive societies that embrace diversity and uphold the principles of equality and justice.
