Perseverance personified! Congratulations to all parties involved in the inspiring story of a Syrian refugee turned UNHCR ambassador. This exemplifies the potential benefits of immigration, highlighting the need for nations to develop policies that foster constructive immigration practices and reduce irregular migration rates. It's important to recognize that most migrants, both regular and irregular, are driven by significant motivations, such as economic opportunities, security concerns, professional development, education, family reunification, or escaping unfavorable circumstances in their home country. Many individuals resort to irregular migration due to lack of awareness, exploitation by unscrupulous actors, financial constraints, or overly restrictive visa application processes. By acknowledging these complexities, we can work towards creating more inclusive and effective immigration systems that benefit both migrants and host countries alike. #donoharm #weareallin #DEI #immigration #respectforall #refugees #diginity #respectforlife #Olympics #refugeeolympics #worldrefugeeday #forthe100million #yusramardini #syrianrefugees #refugeeolympicteam #paris2024 UNHCR, the UN Refugee AgencyUNHCR Canada Canadian Red Cross Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada / Immigration, Réfugiés et Citoyenneté Canada IOM - UN Migration IOM Cambodia United Nations United Nations Volunteers European Leadership U.S. Department of StateUnited States Department of Defense The Canadian Press Samaritan's Purse
