It’s Initiative

TOGETHER is a global initiative led by the United Nations that

wants to change negative perceptions and attitudes towards
refugees and migrants, and to strengthen the social contract
between host countries and communities, refugees and
migrants.
In the New York Declaration, all 193 UN Member States
unanimously welcomed TOGETHER and committed to
implementing the campaign. TOGETHER will run until the signing
of two separate Global Compacts, one on Refugees and one on
Migrants, in the second half of 2018. These contracts seek to
regulate how the world will address large movements of people.
 It’s Members
TOGETHER is a UN System-wide initiative led by the Secretary-
General, which will be implemented in partnership with Member
States, the private sector and civil society and individuals.

One quote from the person leading TOGETHER, namely

Antonio Guterres, Secretary General of the United Nations
“Our duty to the people we serve is to work together to move from
fear of each other to trust in each other. Diversity in all its forms is
an asset, not a threat.”
 It’s Audience
TOGETHER will speak to communities hosting refugees and migrants
and people concerned that refugees and migrants may bring
physical and economic insecurity to their lives. TOGETHER will
engage and activate global citizens to show support for refugees and
migrants.
 It’s Strategy
TOGETHER is an umbrella campaign that will:
Create a coalition of UN agencies, Member States, the private
sector and civil society, acting under the same banner, committed to
addressing the problem of rising xenophobia.
Promote global action in support of non-discrimination and
acceptance of refugees and migrants.
Create a strong persuasive narrative of solidarity, that will
showcase the shared benefits of migration to economies and nations,
while also acknowledging legitimate concerns of host communities.
Build empathy and humanize the debate. It will provide a platform
for stories of and by migrants and refugees and of host communities
that have benefitted from the inclusion of refugees and migrants. It
will tell stories of children on the move.
 It’s Work Plan
UN network of field offices will lead partnerships for action at the
community level, fostering contacts between host communities,
refugees and migrants.

UN Messengers of Peace and Goodwill Ambassadors will engage the

global public and promote the aims of the campaign.

Together will harness the creative community and technology partners

to support Innovative products and outreach tools to reach the target
audience more effectively.
