Nollywood multi award winning filmmaker, Stephanie Okereke-Linus
on Thursday, visited the Rescue Ship “Aquarius” in Italy, operated by SOS
Mediterranee and Doctors Without Borders (MSF).
The movie producer said, "It was a very productive one. I was
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. I also had a press conference with
several members of the international media, where we spoke about measures that
can be used to curb human trafficking."
The actress appeared on cover of La Sicilia, an Italian
daily newspaper.
Julia Blaise Blog (JBB) reports that Mrs. Linus is in Italy to give support to rescued people and
raise voice against human rights violations like, trafficking and sexual
exploitation. Her trip is in partnership with the world-renowned International
Medical Humanitarian Organisation, Doctors Without Borders and SOS
Mediterranean.
