Switzerland seeks to protect Ukrainian refugees from exploitation
The Swiss migration office has issued guidelines to help Ukrainian refugees avoid falling prey to human traffickers.
More than 28,000 people fleeing the war in Ukraine have so far arrived in Switzerland, with many more expected to follow.
The State Secretariat for Migration on Monday warned of “malicious individuals seeking to gain advantages exploit the predicament and weaknesses of persons fleeing their home country. These persons, especially women and children, are particularly at risk.”
The information campaignExternal link warned refugees to be wary of “overly generous offers of assistance or employment” and only to hand travel documents over to public officials.
Refugees are also being advised to take photos of their identity documents and to send copies to trusted friends along with details of their movements.
