The Migration Story 2d ago

Migration is often coloured as a negative phenomenon, one that is often associated with distress and forced choice. These narratives around migration gets repeatedly published in various forms across platforms. But under good circumstances, migration is also aspirational and is considered as an informed step towards a better life. Stories of migration are often complex and requires sensitive, humane approach while documenting. Similarly, it requires nuanced storytelling while bringing out these stories for the public.
