Refugees not Migrants
To stop referring the people escaping from war zones like Syria as migrants. They are refugees.
Why is this important?
The term migrant can be used for anyone wanting to move from one country to another. The masses escaping wars are doing so in fear of their lives and many would prefer to stay in their home country and will go back as soon as it is safe to. We need to realise this and calling them refugees will help.
