Galnaftogas and International Organization for Migration Joint Initiative
In December 2007, "Concern Galnaftogas" signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Mission in Ukraine. Together, they will combat human trafficking and promote legal and safe migration of Ukrainian citizens by conducting a counter-trafficking information campaign in Northern and Western Ukraine, including Lviv, Volyn and Zakarpatska oblasts. Galnaftogas will sponsor counter-trafficking billboards at 12 OKKO gas stations. The billboards will provide people with information how to prevent themselves from getting into trouble overseas. It is also expected that after returning home, victims will be identified and followed to the organizations for qualified help.
