International Migrants Day

International Migrants Day is observed on December 18 each year, highlighting the rights and needs of people who move from one country to another, whether for work, refuge, or family reunification. Established by the United Nations in 2000, the day aims to promote awareness of migrant contributions and the challenges they face, such as discrimination, exploitation, and lack of legal protection. It serves as a reminder of the importance of international cooperation and inclusivity in addressing migration issues, encouraging societies to embrace diversity and support the integration of migrants into communities worldwide.
