INTERNATIONAL MIGRANTS DAY!!! Let us make migration work for the benefit of migrants and countries alike. We owe this to the millions of migrants who, through their courage, vitality and dreams, help make our societies more prosperous, resilient and diverse.~ Ban Ki-moon Secretary-General of the United Nations ~ Immigrants are often perceived as criminals, economic burdens, security threats and even risks to public health. Negative views about immigrants shape government policy and action on immigration around the world, often resulting in limited or no protection for immigrant workers and their families. Each year, the United Nations invites UN Member States and intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations to observe International Migrants Day through the dissemination of information on the human rights and fundamental freedoms of migrants, as well as through the sharing of experiences and the design of actions to ensure their protection. International Migrants Day is commemorated annually on the 18th of December as declared by the General Assembly of United Nations on 4 December 2000 considering the large and multiplying number of migrants all over the world. The General Assembly conducted the international convention for safeguarding the rights of migrant workers and their family members on 18 December, 1990. This day is an opportunity to recognize the contributi ons made by millions of immigrants to the development and well-being of many countries in the world, to promote respect for the rights of immigrant workers and their families, and to highlight the issues that are of the key interest to migrants and their communities. We, at Tita Social Network tackled a theme “Youth Migration: A Step from Haven” for our main priority activities in 2015 . This theme realized to fulfill the principal opinions of young people and to form, educate, increase awareness on the adversities and prerogatives of youth migration in the different levels of society that young people represent. We seek to help states to fulfill their responsibility to assist and protect mobile populations because migrants are more likely to be subject to hardship, human rights violations and discrimination in crisis situations. On this International Migrants Day, we encourage Governments integration protect of migrants, to put eduction at the heart of young migration policy and to raise awareness of the positive contributions migrants make to the economic, social and cultural lives of their host countries. Happy International Migrants!! Tita Social Network
