Established in 1951, IOM is the leading inter-governmental organization in the field of migration and works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners.

1. ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT AND SCOPE:

On 18 December 1980, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution on the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families. Each year on 18 December, the UN – through the International Organization for Migration (IOM) – uses International Migrants Day to highlight the contributions made by roughly 281 million migrants, as well as the challenges they face.

International Migrants Day is celebrated globally by government, international and civil society partners to examine a wide range of migration themes, including human dignity, social cohesion and solidarity. Advocacy is guided by the principle that humane and orderly migration benefits migrants and society.

Now on its seventh year being commemorated in Thailand, IOM intends to launch a digital campaign featuring the testimonies of migrants and partners – aimed at combatting stigma and discrimination against migrants in Thailand, highlighting their socioeconomic contribution to the Thai society. In the two weeks leading up to 18 December, multimedia material will be disseminated and boosted across various online platforms.
