In 2005, the number of international migrants was between 185 and 192 million.

During the following years the number of migrants increased from less than 100 to several hundred.

The situation is clearly more critical in the case of female migrants.

I particularly remember a woman talking about the problems of internal migrants in China.

A record number of migrants arrived in the 1970s; 70,000, for example, during 1973-1974.

As a result, the number of international migrants doubled between 1960 and 2005.

This could change by showing the stories of migrants to the people back home in Africa.

But today the number of illegal migrants has only continued to rise.

We have to protect the lives and dignity of migrants.

No one knows exactly how extensive the flow of migrants will be.
