Today is International Migrants Day.
Migration is not new—it has shaped human history for centuries. People move for a variety of reasons, whether to escape conflict, seek better opportunities, reunite with family, or build a better life.
Migration is a right, not a privilege.

The UK Government’s decision to pause Syrian asylum claims following the collapse of Assad’s regime puts thousands of Syrians in limbo.
Safety is personal— each asylum claim is individual.
Governments must prioritise people’s safety and humanity over political convenience.

On #HumanRightsDay, we remember that every person has the right to live without fear, violence, or persecution. Yet for millions of refugees, this simple right is still out of reach.
No one should have to leave their home, but for those who do, the right to seek safety is non-negotiable.

The need to create safe routes and compassionate solutions for people seeking refuge is urgent.

The Home Office has taken a positive step by trialling an extension to the move-on period for refugees from 28 to 56 days.
This trial extension is a testament to the tireless campaigning efforts across the sector, demonstrating what collective advocacy can achieve.
