Against forced migration

Young girls from the North migrate to Southern towns to carry loads. They are called Kayayei girls.

I am part of the Advocacy Committee against Youth Migration and Trafficking in Northern Ghana, which encourages and supports communities in their efforts to reduce the number of young people heading south.

To continue the work done last May during the advocacy campaign of the Conference of Major Superiors we have revisited the three village communities where migration of young people to the south is the biggest.

In each village the committee discusses the development activities they propose in order to reduce the phenomenon of migration that exposes their children and young people to situations of injustice.
