Each year, 18 December is observed as International Migrants Day. This occasion aims to draw attention to the human rights of migrants and highlight their contribution to our societies.

To mark this year’s International Migrants Day, IOM Viet Nam would like to invite you to participate in a “Migration Through My Lens” Contest to raise public awareness on internal and international migration in Viet Nam. IOM Viet Nam seeks to highlight personal narratives and experiences on migration to promote diversity and inclusion in the Vietnamese migrant’s society.

 

GENERAL INFORMATION

The contest theme is Migration through my lens. Submit a Facebook post describing what migration means to you in one word and use video(s) / photo(s) with captions to explain your ideas.

We would like to voice all points of view on migration in Viet Nam context. This can be your own migration journey or observation of individuals, their families, or the communities who move away from their place of usual residence, whether within Viet Nam or across an international border, temporarily or permanently, for a variety of reasons.
