Aspects Of Discrimination From The Perspective Of The Migration Phenomenon

Migration has existed since the beginning of mankind. The phenomenon did not cease over time, but it has seen changes and new forms with the evolution of society. Migration processes take place simultaneously and are increasing in many countries of the world. The main causes of unprecedented population movements are armed conflicts, famine, natural disasters, human rights violations and deplorable economic conditions in some states. Collective attempts to regulate refugee-specific issues and migration have so far been quite limited. The European Union has taken a step forward in this direction. The European Union now considers that an integrated and comprehensive approach is desirable in order to better manage the phenomenon of migration. The implications of contemporary regional and global migration have consequences on the social, economic, cultural, political and religious environment of the states. Migration has transformed and redefined the political and economic interests of states, but has accentuated and expanded the phenomenon of discrimination, violating the principle of equality. Accepting multiculturalism of different religions as well as social diversity is the key to combating discrimination and respecting the right of every person to equal opportunities. Equal opportunities are based on ensuring the full participation of each person in economic and social life, regardless of ethnic origin, sex, religion, age, disability or sexual orientation.
