Background:
Today is international migrant day which is drawn towards the social cohesion of 272 million migrants living new lives and building new communities in each corner of the planet. The process of moving to another country for employment and livelihood is generally called immigration. This day has been celebrated on December 18 every year since 2000 to spread the message that immigrants must be recognized following the law of the country in which they have arrived.
December 18 is celebrated every year as the International Day of Migrants, in 1990, when the United Nations adopted an international convention to protect the rights of migrant workers and their families. On the occasion of this day, national and international non-governmental organizations in Nepal have been discussing the law on ensuring the rights of migrant workers and drawing the attention of the government and political parties on these issues.
From the Nepali chef striding his trade in UK to the Indian classical musician contributing their skills in the US, we witness the promise that adds beauty to the world when migration is managed properly.
