JABAR EKSPRES — Every year on September 26th, the world celebrates World Immigrant and Refugee Day. This day aims to honor and recognize the contributions of immigrants and refugees to society and to raise awareness of the challenges they face worldwide.
Immigration is a crucial part of the development and sustainability of societies worldwide. Immigrants bring cultural diversity, experiences, and new knowledge to the countries they arrive in. They contribute to various fields, including the economy, culture, science, arts, and much more. World Immigrant and Refugee Day is the right moment to appreciate and celebrate the heritage that immigrants bring to their host countries.
On the other hand, refugees are a highly vulnerable group forced to leave their homes due to conflict, violence, or persecution. World Immigrant and Refugee Day is also an opportunity to remind the world of the ongoing global refugee crisis. Millions of people around the world face uncertain and difficult lives due to conflict and instability in their home countries.

Global solidarity is crucial in addressing the challenges faced by immigrants and refugees. Countries worldwide need to work together to find fair and sustainable solutions for those seeking protection and new opportunities. International organizations, such as the United Nations (UN), play a vital role in coordinating global efforts to assist immigrants and refugees.
Furthermore, World Immigrant and Refugee Day is a chance to raise awareness of the human rights of immigrants and refugees. Every person, regardless of their origin or status, has the same right to live in dignity and safety. We must unite to protect these rights and ensure that immigrants and refugees receive the protection they need.
This celebration is also an opportunity to dispel stereotypes and prejudices that often surround immigrants and refugees. They are individuals with unique stories and great potential, and we must give them the opportunity to prove their positive contributions to society.
