  2. MIGRATION AND TRAFFICKING LINKED “Every time an air plane was flying in the blue sky, I use to stare at it. Always I have dreamt to fly with an airplane and fly far away from my country, from my miserable life, from my reality. It seemed such a remote dream but which I hoped one day would come true. One day my dream came true….I entered that plane and traveled towards the unknown with the hope for a better life…but when I arrived at the destination it wasn’t my dream waiting but a real hell. Without documentation, without home, without promises all alone in a wild life that kept violating and exploiting me…was this my dream? A.B
