Building the Future with Migrants and Refugees: the future is today

Building the Future with Migrants and Refugees: the future is today

Sunday 25th September is the 108th World Day of Migrants and Refugees (WDMR)!

To get ready for the event, we’re publishing a new video in which Pope Francis speaks of “A future for all” – a future that already begins today, instead of leaving the next generation with the responsibility for the decisions that we have to make. It’s a future in which young people are the protagonists. 

The Holy Father is asking us: What decisions must be made right away in order to build here and now a better and more inclusive future for everyone? 

Together with Pope Francis, let’s listen to the testimonies of two Youth Ambassadors of Talitha Kum, who are engaged in the fight against human trafficking. They speak of the scourge of human trafficking in Asia and how they are working to help those in need.
