The esteemed panel of speakers included Asma Begum, National Program Officer of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), Amal Biswas, Senior Program Associate, Abdus Salam, Director of TMSS, and Belal Hossain Hira, former Councilor of Sirajganj Municipality.
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.
