This is a chance to recognize the vital role they play in sustaining healthcare across the country.

Tet was part of the first generation of Filipino nurses recruited in Ireland and has spent over two decades caring for patients. Her story reflects the long-term contribution of migrant workers and illustrates how Ireland’s health system has evolved over time.

“Friends, family, wellbeing and mental health”, that is what Sanctuary Runners Ireland means for people who arrive in the country, often facing hardships and without a support network around them.

With more than 40 groups in Ireland, Sanctuary Runners brings together people seeking asylum, refugees, migrants and local communities through running and shared activity. But their mission goes far beyond that: creating opportunities for integration, building strong communities, making people feel welcome, and helping them settle into life in Ireland.

“The support for the Sanctuary Runners shows how welcoming Ireland actually is, despite the people who shout otherwise. 99% of people in Ireland are welcoming,” shared one participant.

On this International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, IOM Ireland celebrates the power of sport as a universal language that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers, reduces isolation, and creates spaces for integration and solidarity.

Migrant and diaspora women are strengthening economies, supporting communities through remittances, and leading solutions in countries of origin and destination alike.

And to unlock that potential, migration pathways must be safe, they must be regular, and they must be fair.
