Migrants are central to Bangladesh’s story. Millions work abroad, supporting families & powering the economy.
As the country strengthens safe and regular pathways, the goal remains simple: protect migrants & ensure fair, dignified journeys.
This is a story of resilience & hope.
Happy to have been in Sylhet today and open #MigrationFairBD2025. It was great to see so many people come and participate.
Sylhet was abuzz with energy at #MigrationFairBD2025! From on-spot job offers to guidance on safe, regular migration, visitors left with clarity. Quizzes, games & music kept the day vibrant.
🙏 Heartfelt thanks to the 🇮🇹 & 🇧🇩 governments, partners & people of Sylhet.

11 million people are now displaced in #Sudan.
More than half of those displaced are women, and more than a quarter of them are children under the age of five.
Think about that for a moment.

#Sudan is one of the most neglected humanitarian crises in the world today.
Failure to act means risking lives of millions dependent on aid.
We need unhindered humanitarian access to support people with life-saving aid.
At the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly where @UNmigration is discussing how enhancing migration governance can foster sustainable development. Lively exchanges on the contributions of migrants. Parliamentarians can lead the effort for a balanced and accurate discourse on migration

For every 8 internally displaced persons in the world, 1 is in #Sudan.
The crisis in Sudan demands immediate action to support the vulnerable.
@UNmigration is on the ground, but we need to scale up our humanitarian response. Together, let's ensure no one is left behind.
