Scalabrini International Migration Network Celebrates the International Day of Family Remittances – June 16

On this International Day of Family Remittances, the Scalabrini International Migration Network (SIMN) joins the global community in celebrating the strength, resilience, and dedication of over 200 million migrant workers who support their families and communities through remittances.

These financial flows are more than transactions—they are lifelines that ensure food, education, housing, and dignity for millions around the world. In many low- and middle-income countries, remittances fuel economic stability, foster financial inclusion, and build paths toward sustainable development.

At SIMN, we stand with migrant workers who, through sacrifice and perseverance, create hope across borders. We reaffirm our commitment to advocate for just migration policies and to accompany those who, with their hands and hearts, uplift their families and shape a more humane and united world.

Today, we honor their contribution. Tomorrow, we continue to walk with them.
