Abstract

The Selam Medirashachin (Safe Arrival, in Amharic) project was born out of the need to address safety and security issues that we observed in our research among migrant AGYWs during the narrow window of time immediately upon arrival. With most migrants arriving by means of public buses, the project was located in the two largest bus stations in Addis Ababa: Autobus Terra and Lamberet. This project involved both research and intervention development to support the safety of migrant girls upon arrival.
