Migration isn’t just about crossing borders — it’s about people seeking safety, dignity, and opportunity.
Around the world, people leave their homes due to a mix of push and pull factors:
Social and Political Causes
War, persecution, and human rights violations force individuals to flee their countries. In 2022, over 384,000 asylum seekers were granted protection in the EU — many from Syria, Afghanistan, and Venezuela.
Economic and Demographic Factors
Lack of jobs, poor working conditions, and economic instability are major drivers of migration. In contrast, higher wages, better living standards, and education attract migrants to more stable nations.
Environmental Pressures
Climate change is now one of the fastest-growing causes of migration. Floods, droughts, and natural disasters displace millions — and estimates suggest that by 2050, up to 1 billion people could become environmental migrants.
At PROSDOMA, we know that migration is not a choice for many — it’s a necessity. That’s why we work every day to support newcomers in Alberta by providing legal aid, job search assistance, computer training, and more.
We also raise awareness about the deeper causes of migration and advocate for policies that are fair, sustainable, and compassionate.
Let’s build a community where no one is left behind — whether they come from conflict zones, climate-affected regions, or economic hardship.
Join PROSDOMA in supporting migrants, raising awareness, and creating lasting change.
