II World Social Forum on Migration
The
World Social Forum on Migration is a venue for democratic debates on ideas, for
reflection, proposals, exchange of experiences and articulation of social movements,
networks, NGOs and other organisations of civil society which oppose the neo-liberal
globalization led by the big corporations and the ones which serve their interests
and the consequences of their power.
It is a world-wide process aimed at the building of a different world and
a society orientated to a fecund relation between human beings and between humans
and the Earth, to consolidate a globalisation based on solidarity, in which the
rights of foreigners and their integration in the host country are recognised
all over the world. After the first world-wide meeting, held in 2005 in Porto
Alegre (Brazil), the Forum was seen as a continuous world-wide process to find
solutions at an international level. (+)
