On International Migrants Day, we celebrate the contributions millions of migrants make to communities, economies and countries around the world.
But today is also a day to remind ourselves of the challenges migrants can face — from prejudice and discrimination, to outright violence and abuse, to the unimaginable cruelty of human trafficking.
As a global community, we must summon our common humanity, and work to reverse these harmful trends.
Today and every day, let’s stand up for the rights of all migrants and work to create safe, humane and inclusive migration systems.

People already in humanitarian need are at greatest risk of #ClimateCrisis impacts.
Of the 16 countries most at risk from climate change, 11 have humanitarian appeals for urgent assistance.
#ClimateAction must leave no one behind.

Our global financial must respond to current realities.
We need to tackle the financing and debt challenges hindering countries from investing in education, health and job creation – all sectors that will help put the #SDGs on track.

We need to do more in the international community at this time of extreme need in Sudan and Chad.
Humanitarian response saves lives:
For refugees,
For internally displaced persons,
For women and children, and
For all those who need a lifeline.

“Migrations are not the fleeting emergency used by the scaremongers’ propaganda. They are a reality of our times, a process involving three continents around the Mediterranean to be governed with wisdom, foresight and European responsibility.” (Pope Francis speaking in Marseille) – at Geneva, Switzerland

Africa is underrepresented in the global financial architecture, just as it lacks a permanent seat on the Security Council.
The world has changed. Global governance must change with it.
We need reforms to make global frameworks truly universal & representative of today's world.
