The focus was on informing the public about preventive actions to ensure safe migration, protecting individuals from exploitation by fraudulent brokers. The initiative seeks to empower communities with knowledge, creating a safer environment for those venturing overseas. As the initiative gains momentum, the hope is to empower communities with knowledge and resources, fostering a safer environment for those embarking on journeys abroad.
