Towards a wider “WE”

is the theme of the 107th Migrant and Refugee Sunday, celebrated on the 26th of September, 2021. 

Pope Francis has released his message (below in video format) for Migrant and Refugee Sunday with an emphasis on creating a diverse and beautiful world which celebrates our differences while remaining as one.

In 2019, there were 26 million refugees worldwide.In the financial year of 2019-20, Australia granted refugee status to 14,993 people, either through resettlement from other countries or granting protection to people who had applied for asylum in Australia.

There were over 7.6 million migrants living in Australia. 29.8% of Australia’s population were born overseas. Australia’s population increased by 194,400 people due to net overseas migration. Let us be open.
