Called to freedom, justice and peace! Galatians 5:13

Campaign

Background

Since 2015 Europe have been a fundamental actor of the Migrants Crisis through the Mediterranean; we are used to think about our era as a period of peace, but as we can see through the “window”, if we look further, several countries are living in poverty and ruined by the war.

UNHCR defined with an article on 27th of August 2015 the difference between a refugee and a migrant; we remember there that “Refugees are persons fleeing armed conflict or persecution”, on the other side “Migrants choose to move not because of a direct threat of persecution or death, but mainly to improve their lives by finding work, or in some cases for education, family reunion, or other reasons.”

States usually use this distinction to decide if a person should be eligible to live in a state and to beneficiate to the refugee status.

The question is if we have the right to decide if someone is eligible to have…human rights: to reject someone and to define him as not welcome in a state in several case means to deny his right to fulfill his wellbeing as well as his physical, moral and psychological integrity.

As a remind would like to say notice that cities and towns and more in general geographical spaces in all over the world are inhabited by people; people can move and since the existence of the planet people are moving through the world.
