 Compass Guiding Safe Migration Launched in 2021 with the government of the Netherlands, Compass is a global initiative that protects people on the move, combats human trafficking and smuggling, and supports dignified return while promoting sustainable reintegration. Compass started as a partnership with 12 countries. Algeria and Sudan joined the initiative soon after, leading to 14 countries committed to Compass goals. So, one year later, what have we achieved? More than 30,000 migrants were provided with protection, identification and direct support. 13,000 people were reached with safe migration information in communities with high mobility, and almost 800 stakeholders received capacity-building training on migrant protection, human trafficking, sustainable reintegration and migration management in general. Compass also engages with local partners to support migrants in need. We are visiting one of them today. Welcome to Thradzof Hope! Thradzof Hope is a social enterprise that supports marginalized women by offering them trainings on embroidery, sewing and other handicrafts, providing them with self-employment opportunities. The International Organization for Migration through the Compass initiative is collaborating this year with Thradzof Hope to expand the centre's reach by increasing the enrollment of more vulnerable migrant women to their ongoing handicrafts training, and provide them with awareness on parenting skills and nutrition, which can contribute to both their and their family's lives. I have been working here for three years in the Centre for Work. I have studied a lot of embroidery, sewing and other things. I love the Centre for Work. I work very hard. I am learning at the Centre for Work. I am learning new things, I am getting married and happy with the work under the guidance. This partnership will also cater to Thradzof Hope staff by providing them with information sessions on IOM services counter-trafficking, child protection and reporting mechanisms to ensure that they have the capacity to serve and protect the female migrant. The main goal of this partnership is to build the capacity of many vulnerable groups of migrant women and to ensure that they have a sustainable income for better livelihoods. We are one year in and the journey has just begun. We will continue to learn, collaborate and protect to guide safe migration better together. The COMPASS initiative is implemented by IOM and funded by the Netherlands. For more information, visit www.iom.int.com
