“Information is power”; that was the central message at the premiere of IOM X’s Make Migration Work video series yesterday (07/05). The short dramas illustrate why it pays to seek information and guidance before migrating, and provide different ways that people can do this, including through IOM Myanmar’s “Miss Migration” Facebook page. IOM X is a campaign to prevent human trafficking and exploitation led by IOM, the UN Migration Agency, and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The Make Migration Work video series was produced in partnership with the Myanmar Government’s Ministry of Labour, Immigration and Population, and aligns with national efforts to increase Myanmar migrants’ access to information through Labour Exchange Offices and Migrant Resource Centres, which also feature in the videos. "“Migrants who seek information before they migrate usually have more successful experiences,” said Tara Dermott, IOM X Programme Leader. “But finding trustworthy information is not always easy. Recognizing that more and more people in Myanmar are accessing the internet every day, through IOM X’s Make Migration Work series, we are showing potential migrants how a visit to a Migrant Resource Centre or how a query posted to Miss Migration on Facebook may make the difference between a good or bad experience for themselves and their families.” The eight-video Make Migration Work series comprises four stories, each told from two different perspectives. The videos are in Burmese, with running time of under four minutes each. IOM Myanmar's Miss Migration Facebook page points visitors to reliable safe migration information online. The page includes an easy-to-use chat function that guides users through a series of topics related to migration and directs them to the specific information they are looking for.
