Everyone has a journey that leads to a different road

What would you do in a situation of desperation? For many in our neigh-boring countries, conflict, political turmoil, and poverty lead the vulnerable into marginalisation. But what if someone offered you a way out?

“Otro banda di lama” tells the story of Pedro and Camila, a couple who leave their family behind and risk their lives to find a better future, only to be deceived and trafficked by a network of criminals. Their story is a dramatisation, but this is the reality playing out right under our noses.

According to the UNODC, there are 4 main differences between human trafficking and migrant smuggling:

Consent

Smuggling includes consent by individuals to be moved across a border. Trafficking victims have either never given consent or, if consent was initially granted, it is rendered meaningless by coercion, deception, abuse, and exploitation.

Exploitation

Smuggling has three possible outcomes:

A smuggler walks away with a migrant’s money,
A migrant gets caught or perishes during the trip, or
A migrant makes it to a destination and smuggling ends upon arrival.

Transnationality

Smuggling is always transnational. Trafficking exploitation can occur within a country or can involve border crossings.

Profits

Smuggling profits are derived from the transportation of an individual from one country to another. Trafficking profits are derived from exploitation.
