2023 World Day of M&R

2023 Theme

Free to choose whether to migrate or to stay

“Free to choose whether to migrate or to stay”  is the theme chosen by the Holy Father for the 109th World Day of Migrants and Refugees (WDMR). Pope Francis intends to promote a renewed reflection on a right that has not yet been codified at the international level: the right not to have to migrate or, in other words, the right to be able to remain in one’s own land.
