TRAVEL SAFE, Stay Safe

PRACTICAL ADVICE ON HOW TO SEEK SANCTUARY SAFELY

Welcome to this web page! Below, you will find information about organisations that can offer you help and support.

Staying Safe

Most people want to help refugees, but there may be some who shouldn’t be trusted.

If you are leaving Ukraine, here are 8 things to remember to keep yourself safe:

1. Travel in a group.

2. Make sure you tell someone you trust about the trip you are taking.

3. If someone in your group goes missing, tell the police immediately.

4. If you are under 18 and travelling alone make sure your family knows where you are every step of the way.

5. If someone offers you transportation, take a picture of them and their ID, their vehicle and registration and share it with your friends/family.

6. Always keep your ID, travel, and personal documents safe – never give them away only show them to officials if you need to.

7. Save emergency numbers on your mobile phone and always keep it with you.

8. People may offer you work, make sure you know the address of the workplace, share it with friends/family.

If it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t.

Here are organisations that can support and help you in different ways.

Information about human trafficking

Click on the subjects below to find out more

Human trafficking is the movement or recruitment of people, either through deception, coercion, or force for the purpose of exploitation. Traffickers often profit financially from exploiting people. People on the move from a conflict can be vulnerable.

There are many ways people might be lured and trapped into exploitation, including:

Refugees are often offered help with travel and accommodation in exchange for payment later. Do not agree unless you know all the details. This is a method traffickers use to control and exploit people and an example of debt bondage.

It is very important that whatever choice you make, you ensure you put your safety as a top priority.

A trafficker could be anybody. They can be any age, gender or nationality.

Most people want to help refugees, but there may be some who shouldn’t be trusted.

Traffickers often force people into doing things they don’t want to do. They will pressure and force people to stay in the situation using threats and intimidation.

Control methods include:

If you have found yourself in a situation you want to escape, there are organisations that can help you.
