Migrant

A migrant is a person who moves from one place to another, typically in search of work, education, or better living conditions. Migrants can be either internal, meaning they move within their own country, or international, meaning they move to another country. Migrants often face challenges and hardships, such as language barriers, discrimination, and lack of access to services and support. However, many migrants are also able to improve their lives and opportunities through their efforts to relocate. The phenomenon of migration has existed throughout human history, and continues to be a significant and complex issue in many parts of the world.
