A new imagination of the possible
What consequences have migrants, refugees, and victims of trafficking suffered due to the impact of Covid-19? What has been the response of the Church committed to welcoming, protecting, promoting, and integrating them?
The Vatican COVID-19 Commission and M&R Section Bulletin endeavour to answer these questions by seeking to better understand the crisis’ impact on these groups and presenting guidelines and good practices undertaken by the Church, in the hope that they can be of inspiration for other Catholic actors.
In particular, the 2022 Bulletin looks into the future of labour with the intent to promote necessary structural changes and solutions that might help build a new future in which there is Work for all, including Migrants and Refugees.
