Social media platforms have become more than just avenues for sharing updates or staying in touch with loved ones for migrants and refugees; they've transformed into lifelines. Some use social media to help navigate their way across borders or document their experiences. However, criminal gangs also use these platforms to advertise dangerous crossings, and human trafficking networks abuse social media to lure victims. In this episode we discover how social media is impacting migrant journeys.

Presenter: Myriam Francois

Guests:
Carlos Eduardo Espina - Immigrant rights activist and law student
Zoe Gardner - Independent migration policy researcher, advocate and writer
Femi Nylander - Poet, actor, filmmaker and author
