Rebecca* is a 30 years old woman from Ghana who was rescued on the 7th of July along with 315 people in Central Mediterranean.

This series of testimonies reflects the journeys of some of the survivors rescued by Geo Barents.

Most of the rescued people supported by our teams on the Geo Barents are very vulnerable and have survived harrowing experiences, in their home countries, on their journeys and in Libya. There are often minors travelling alone, survivors of trafficking, sexual violence and torture. In Libya, many migrants and refugees are kidnapped by militias and armed groups and held captive. Most end up trapped in cycles of exploitation, abuse and detention.
