How do you celebrate this day?


The United Nation celebrates International Migrants Day on Monday 18 December 2017.

The world celebrates this occasion mainly by spreading awareness on human rights and the fundamentals of freedoms for all migrants.

Community organisations and human rights activists take the opportunity to support migrants and stand against any racial confrontations might face them.

The importance of this day has increased after the recent events in the Middle East and other countries where conditions have worsened in terms of security, economy and social aspects.

To many people looking for new beginnings was the only option to survive.
