Media-friendly glossary on migration: Fair recruitment and forced labour - Ghana edition

Supported by the Integrated Programme on Fair Recruitment – Phase III (FAIR III), the ILO Media-Friendly Glossary on Migration has been specifically adapted for the Ghanaian context to serve as a guideline for journalists, researchers, trainers, and other actors in Ghana who write about labour migration, especially in the context of recruitment and forced labour.

It is important to define common ground and avoid confusion and misunderstanding that can arise in using migration-related terminology. This version of the glossary aims to promote rights-based terminology to encourage rigorous and balanced media coverage and ensure that the narratives produced reflect the multiple dimensions of labour migration. It contains both general terminology relating to labour migration and specific terminology relevant when describing labour migration in Ghana.
