Stephanie Okere-Linus, in partnership with international medical humanitarian organisation Doctors Without Borders (MSF), is currently in Italy, to fight for victims of human trafficking.
This is coming after increased rate of human trafficking being experienced by Nigerians trying to migrate to Europe via Libya.
Aside advocating against the heinous human rights violations, Okere-Linus, also a film director and model, is also giving her support to those rescued.
According to a statement from Okere-Linus, her mission in Italy will include a visit to the rescue ship “Aquarius” to witness their activities and operations.
She will have meetings with some women; participate in rehabilitation exercises for the rescued women, media parleys and stakeholder meetings with the aim of alleviating their sufferings and preventing more girls and women from falling prey.
