IOM Niger Promotes Safe Migration in Agadez

In the middle of the desert in Agadez, a strategic crossroad for migrants, IOM staff is assisting migrants coming from Liberia, Cameroon, Gambia, Guinea, Senegal, Nigeria and other West African countries.

The migrants’ journeys before reaching the center are often long and traumatizing. Among them there are many who have been victims of trafficking, exploitation or abuse at the hands of unscrupulous smugglers.

The video above was made in support of IOM Niger's information campaign implemented in 2016. The aim of the campaign was to inform potential and transiting migrants about safer alternatives to irregular migration, and about the risks and dangers of trafficking and smuggling.
