Amy Pope, Guterres, HRW, others celebrate Migrants’ Day

IOM Chief, Amy Pope, UN Secretary General António Guterres, Human Rights Watch among other individuals and organisations yesterday December 18, marked this year’s International Migrants Day
IOM Chief Amy Pope in her message said:
“#MigrantsDay is a day to celebrate the resilience and contributions that migrants bring to our world.

At IOM, we are committed to ensuring their rights, safety, and well-being.

Let’s #ActToday and build inclusive societies where every migrant’s journey is respected and valued.”

UN Secretary General António Guterres: Migration enables millions of people to improve their lives.

But poorly governed migration is a cause of great suffering.

A more humane & orderly management of migration can benefit all, including communities of origin, transit & destination.

Human Rights Watch: Today is International Migrants Day.

All people on the move should be treated with dignity and respect for their basic human rights — regardless of the reason for their movement. #InternationalMigrantsDay
