Forced Migration Comic Book
Languages:
Ukrainian, English
Forced Migration:
Forced migration is the forcibly induced movement of people, for example, persons forced to flee to escape conflict, as in the situation of Ukraine. It can occur within a country and across international borders. Often when individuals and families are forced to move with little or no warning, there is an increased risk of exploitation during this vulnerable period. Traffickers are known to prey on those coming from a crisis situation, and may trick you into a dangerous situation, such as forced labor or sexual exploitation through deception, threats, or violence. Look out for possible indicators and don't be deceived by false promises.
Possible Indicators:
- Offering shelter or employment without identifying who they are or providing details
- Offering you free transportation or travel documents, without clearly identifying who they are
- Taking (or offering to take) your documents for safekeeping
- Trying to separate from your family and friends
- Offering assistance, in exchange for favours
- Treating you in an aggressive manner, physically or verbally
- Threatening you with physical harm
- Working for little or no pay (or withholding part of your salary)
