Details
The day has been adopted by the United Nations General Assembly and is globally recognized. Half of these remittances go to rural areas where they have the power to create a huge impact. This day seeks to spread more awareness about the impact these contributions have on households, communities, and nations. The day highlights the determination and resilience of the many migrant workers in the face of financial insecurities and natural as well as climate-related disasters. Remittances form the financial aspect of the social contract that binds migrants to their families back home.
