Holding the microphone in this picture is a Jounalist form GBC in Tamale who stated that “The media is mostly used to discuss politics in Ghana while critical issues like migration are often overlooked.”
This is what we think. That Irregular Migration is not just a statistic or a headline but it is about real people, real struggles, and real dreams. It affects families, livelihoods, and the future of many young people, especially in our communities.Yet, we rarely see consistent conversations around it. We don’t talk enough about the risks, the realities, and the opportunities for safer, informed choices.As stakeholders, media professionals, and development actors, we need to ask ourselves:
Are we giving enough attention to the issues that truly impact lives?
It’s time to shift the narrative.
Let’s use the media not only for politics, but also to educate, inform, and amplify stories that matter.
