ADDRESSING MIGRATION AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING ISSUES

Due to the conflict in Somalia, migration and human trafficking have become very critical. Thousands of Somalis died in the Yemen coast searching for a better life.

Also hundreds of Somalis died in the Sudan-Libya Sahara hoping to reach Europe.

SYPD urges all concerned parties to find a durable solution for migration and human trafficking because fighting the disease wants you fight against the cause rather than the symptoms.

The majority of migrants leave from South and Central Somalia. This migration is mainly sparked off by conflict, poverty and lack of economic opportunities in their area. Feeling desperate, the migrants, mainly men and women in young age, prefer death in the sea and Sahara rather than dying for hunger.

Therefore, SYPD will conduct research on the causes of migration and the trends pushing it.

Furthermore, SYPD carries out awareness programs to provide the public about information regarding the dangers of migration and human trafficking. On the hand, we recommend the creation of economic opportunities to encourage the migrants stay and establish life at their localities.
