On 25 March 2026, at the 61st Session of the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, an important voice was raised on behalf of over one million skilled migrants. That voice was ๐๐ซ. ๐๐๐ฒ๐๐ซ๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ก๐๐ฐ๐๐๐๐ง๐, a Solicitor in England & Wales.
Representing the ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐ซ๐ข ๐๐๐ง๐ค๐๐ง ๐ ๐จ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฆ ๐๐ง๐ข๐ญ๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ฆ, Mr. Palihawadana delivered a powerful speech highlighting the growing concerns, uncertainty, and challenges faced by skilled workers, particularly those affected by changing immigration policies.
For us at Skill Migrants Alliance Limited, this moment carries deep meaning. Mr. Palihawadana has been with us since the very beginning as an advisor, offering guidance, support, and belief in our mission. His commitment has never been symbolic, it has been active, consistent, and courageous.
๐บRaising Our Issues in Geneva
Speaking at an international platform like the United Nations is not easy. It requires clarity, responsibility, and courage. In his speech, Mr. Palihawadana brought forward the real struggles faced by skilled migrants, people who contribute to economies, support essential services, and build their lives with hope, yet continue to face uncertainty about their future.
He spoke not just as an individual, but as a representative of a much larger community, over a million skilled workers whose voices often go unheard.
At a time when policies are changing rapidly, often without proper impact assessment or clear data, raising these concerns at a global level is critical. It ensures that the world begins to see the human side of immigration decisions.
๐บA Moment of Recognition and Gratitude
We take this moment to sincerely thank Mr. Palihawadana for standing with us and for us.
His speech is not just a statement, it is recognition. Recognition that skilled migrants matter. That their contributions matter. That their futures should not be uncertain.
We are proud that someone who has supported Skill Migrants Alliance Limited from its early days is now carrying our message to one of the highest international platforms.
๐บMoving Forward Together
This is not the end, it is a step forward.
As a community, we will continue to organise, raise awareness, and advocate for fair and transparent policies. We will continue to support each other through this uncertain time. And we will continue to take our message to every platform possible, local, national, and global.
