 Migrants contribute greatly and in unexpected ways to the societies that they join. But in many parts of the world there's an increasingly negative perception of migrants and their contributions to society. We urgently need to change the lens through which people view migration. IOM is launching a migrant heroes social media campaign in 2015. Please help us identify migrants who are contributing greatly to their new societies. We're looking for everybody and anybody who's making a contribution, not just the footballers and the singers. Cecilia Cayenge is the sort of person we're thinking about. She came to Italy many years ago as a humble student, struggled to make her way, and has risen to the ranks both as a medical doctor and as a politician of the first rank. Sadly, she's also under attack from xenophobes. I am the target of xenophobes and racists because I am a migrant, someone who chooses to stay in the country and who occupies a high function. I am right now under protection. We must work hard to avoid that populists and xenophobes attack people because of their diversity, which is my case right now. From another part of the world, Jasmine Lee, married and young, travelled to the Republic of Korea. She started advocating for migrants there as well, and has become a huge national figure, movie star, television talk show host, and member of parliament, in fact the first foreign member of parliament of Korea. Well, when I first came to Korea, there wasn't much of me going on around. There wasn't much of the migrants going on around, but as a number of the migrants grew, so is the negative perception, so is how bad the people are seeing things. People are seeing migrants as people who are taking things away from them and not being actually helpful, just beneficiaries of welfare. That's how people are looking at migrants. That's how it went to Korea too. With migrants coming under attack from xenophobes and others, it's time to rediscover our compassion. In 2014 alone, almost 5,000 of them died trying to reach other countries in safety. It's time now to join forces and support the Migrant Heroes campaign and help change the perception of migrants. So please, let's find these heroes and go online and nominate them with hashtag Migrant Heroes.
