The Gambia

Young Gambians often assume they will achieve success in Europe. As a result many of them risk their lives by attempting to take the so-called ‘backway’ to Europe.

The truth is, frequently they don’t make it and have to return to The Gambia from Libya. Even those reaching Europe often return in a worse financial situation than when they left. The majority of Gambians who have taken the backway have experienced or witnessed murder, kidnapping, detention and beatings.

This collection of first-hand reliable information about migration from The Gambia to Europe, including the risks, costs, legal options and local alternatives aims to fill existing information gaps and enable Gambians to make informed decisions about irregular migration to Europe and other options.
