Bogotá, Colombia – September 2, 2025 – The Scalabrini International Migration Network (SIMN) is honored to announce its active participation in the 15th Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) Summit, taking place in Bogotá, Colombia. The summit, guided by the theme “Regular Migration, Labour Mobility, and Human Rights: Pillars of Development and Well-Being of Societies,” will gather global leaders, civil society representatives, and international organizations to advance dialogue and cooperation on migration and development.

This September 1st, 2025, on Labor Day in the United States, the Scalabrini International Migration Network (SIMN) reminds us that access to decent employment is a fundamental right and an essential pillar of life for every migrant and refugee. Throughout our history, we Scalabrinians have accompanied those who, leaving their homes behind, seek not only to survive, but also to build a future based on the effort, security, and stability that fair work offers.
