With IOM’s support, returning migrants in Ghana are fighting the stigma which is often associated with return.  

Stigmatization remains a major obstacle for sustainable reintegration. It hampers the process of readjusting to the community of origin on several levels.  

With the spread of COVID-19, the need to raise awareness on issues related to stigmatization has increased.  

IOM Ghana explains the roots of stigma, the impacts it can have on migrants, and some strategies to overcome it.
