Session 8: Understanding Migration: Push and Pull Factors and the Catholic Response

Chris West

Today there are more people on the move than any other time in our history. This session will look at some of the factors that compel people to leave their homes, the impact of migration on families, and how the Church through Catholic Relief Services is intervening to improve the lives of our sisters and brothers. We will also look at how participation in CRS’ Lead the Way on Migration campaign will offer actions that we can take to have a positive impact for people on the move.
