Sister-led Dialogue on Migration, promoted by the International Union of Superiors General (IUSG), is the second episode of an initiative sponsored by Sisters Advocating Globally, in collaboration with the Global Solidarity Fund. The event was held in Rome on 3 July 2023. The series of dialogues brings religious women from around the world face-to-face with intergovernmental and interfaith institutions, civil society organizations, representatives of UN and third-sector organizations, academic experts and communicators. Its purpose is to jointly find answers to some of the urgent and complex challenges of our times with new partners, providing the chance to dialogue on important issues by analyzing the needs and potentials of vulnerable communities.
The Sister-led Dialogue series allows the participants to bring diverse and across-the-board experiences and expertise to the same table so as to address some of the most urgent development challenges of our times. This second episode of the series focuses on the phenomenon of migration. The Dialogues are important because, through a comparison of different experiences and the rich exchange of reflections, they give participants the chance to learn about the needs of marginalized people throughout the world, in order to shape conversations on international development geared to the needs of local communities.
