I’ve listened to the Global Goals Cast so many times and I love all their episodes
But episode 3 has always stood out for me
For a number of reasons like these below

“The world is on the move and we are going to see more of that, in the near future”.
“The economic powerhouse that migrants are has become needs to be nourished”.
“I’m deeply concerned over the policies that some national leaders are taking at the moment, I think it’s very xenophobic, chauvinistic view of society and it’s causing damage to the world, in general”.

Did you know that the clash against migrants and migration is a direct threat to the Sustainable Development Goals?

Do you acknowledge that migrants are human beings like you, who just seek to have a much better tomorrow than they have been having lately? Free from “all the noise and clutter” existing where they have been?

Do you know, for a fact that migrants world-over, contribute 10% to the global GDP aka Gross Domestic Product?

Do you know that you can be more sympathetic and loving to them, just like these guys at this border town?

Migrants are not here to take your jobs! Nnoooo…. They are the ultimate development agent that is producing much more jobs in the SME’s than you can imagine.

I urge you to build new beginnings now, tomorrow and the other day, with the next migrant you meet.
Bring out that plate in the open, share that food
Lessen on the work-load existing in goal 1
And end up bagging the other 16 goals, eeehhh.
Most especially, goal 17!
Attitudes towards migrants as job thiefs, welfare scroungers, dangerous criminals etc is such a dirty stain on the world.

Politicians use migrants as scapegoats for their shortfalls!! They like to blame migrants for less jobs, or jobs that don’t pay well, or less than adequate healthcare and education. We should hold the politicians more accountable.
Hhhhmmmmm….okay! Thank you for sharing. ?❤️?✊?
It is very importatnt topic that i have ever read . Thanks for the post . The country’s politicians should notice this problems
Oooohhhh….I’m glad to hear that, Juna! You’re welcome. ?❤️?✊?

This is such an important topic! And one that we should be talking about more.

I think this is a topic that does need to be discussed more. I enjoyed that Global chart that you shared with all the valuable information on. Just seeing everything laid out like that really does open your eyes. Great read!

??? thank you.
Migrants like citizens deserve to be treated with respect and afforded their human rights. Thanks for sharing this post.
??? you’re welcome.
This is a topic that has taken a backseat in the past several months. This subject needs to be brought back to the forefront.
?? please do your part and bring it up wherever you go!!
Great post and view on migrants. It goes along with kindness and how we treat people.
Yyyeeesssss! How I wish everyone knew, understood and practised this.
I hate when people are so insensitive and can’t have emphaty for others. Migration is part of Human evolution. That’s how we bild cities,nations…. We have to be more kind to our humanity.

The great thing about every new day, is that it’s an opportunity to start fresh! I love your advice to really heed this and go for it!

Thanks for the different perspective on migrants. Its all of our birth right to move around and shift.
?? you’re welcome.
You talk about a very important topic Way to go

Great points in this post. I’ve always believed that if you want to help someone, you help yourself in the process as well. We can all learn something by working together.
Oh yeah, Dana. That is something even I need to work on, every single day. DON’T BE A STRANGER TO ANY ONE.
Totally agree with your midset there and definitely a topic that needs to be discussed more. Immigrants are human as well so there is no need to treat them any different.
Aaaahhh….it’s good to know, Soria!
