Events have taken on another dimension in the advocacy against human trafficking for Stephanie Linus. The Actress and Director who has been in Italy in partnership with the international medical humanitarian organization – Doctors Without Borders (MSF) and SOS Mediterranee, came face to face with the realities when she met one-on-one with some rescued victims of human trafficking.
She met with the women, listened to their stories and shared with them. It got even more interesting when the women decided to prepare a meal together, sing and exchange hand-made gifts. It was truly a heartwarming experience as hope was renewed in their midst.
Following her meeting with the women, she also visited United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) office where she was given a deeper insight into the operations of the organization in Italy.
Mrs. Linus and her team also visited the rescue ship “Aquarius”. They were also given a tour of the ship, and afterwards, discussions on the overall need to educate people on the dangers of being trafficked and integrating the rescued victims back into the society followed.
