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.
