Voices of Change: Advocating for Migrant Rights

"It is time to accept the reality that, like the waves on the seas that many of the migrants traverse, the ebb and flow of human movement cannot be stopped. That is why the international community must manage migration with understanding and compassion"
Kofi Annan
Kofi AnnanFormer Secretary-General of the United Nations
"Refugees and migrants may lose many things when they move, but never their human rights and dignity."

"There's not a single country that can sustain its economy, or pave the way for development, or even thrive socially without migrants...Mobilities will actually be a survival instinct for all nations, and migration policies have to be well managed and based on human rights principles."
Paddy Siyanga Knudsen
Paddy Siyanga Knudsen Coordinator of the African Non-State Actors Platform on Migration & Development
"The protection and promotion of the human rights of people on the move has to be at the center of our national and international efforts…There are not two different kinds of people – those ‘deserving’ and those ‘undeserving’. They are all human beings, endowed with fundamental rights, including the right to be protected."
Jürg Lauber
Jürg Lauber Permanent Representative of Switzerland to the United Nations
"Migrants are not just there to be spoken about - they have a voice. They just don't have a platform to have their voices heard. Our job as Civil Society is to find a way to create those platforms."
Lorenzo Vargas Mantilla
Lorenzo Vargas MantillaDirector of International Programmes at the World Association for Christian Communication
"What we are facing is less a migration crisis than a migration management crisis and, importantly, a crisis of solidarity…We must reaffirm in both policy and practice the fundamental importance of respecting, protecting and fulfilling the human rights of all migrants, regardless of their status."
