New Social Change Catalyst blog from Dr Daniel Kyereko
Posted on Wednesday 30 September 2026
In this blog "Human Movement Is Not New. So Why Is Migration Still a Problem?", Dr. Daniel Kyereko looks at why people moving around the world is treated like a crisis when it has always happened. In the piece he explores the deep-rooted contradictions in how society views and responds to human mobility, pointing out that society often welcomes certain types of movement while unfairly judging others.
Kyereko argues that migration feels like a "problem" because leaders try to fix global issues with local, temporary rules. To change this, he suggests that researchers, policymakers, local communities, and migrants need to work together to view human movement as a normal and natural part of modern life rather than a disruption.
