IOM introduced itself at the biggest multicultural Festival Bažant Pohoda for the first time this year in July. From different materials and activities prepared by IOM the visitors could learn more about migration, IOM Migration Information Centre and about assistance to migrants with integration in Slovakia. IOM also launched a new campaign Nestaň sa obeťou obchodovania s ľuďmi (Do not Become a Victim of Human Trafficking) at the festival. The presented materials warn of the risks of human trafficking and also promote the helpline 0800 800 818. The helpline can be approached by anyone who is in danger of becoming or has already become a victim of human trafficking, or who is considering working abroad.
