Missing Migrants on the Eastern Southern Route

Behind every statistic is a person, a family, and a journey that should never disappear.

We partnered with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to design this research report examining migrant deaths and disappearances along the Eastern and Southern Africa migration route.

The executive summary distills key findings, risks, and recommendations into a clear visual narrative, making the report’s most critical insights accessible at a glance while encouraging deeper engagement with the research.

Through structured storytelling and data visualization, we helped transform complex research into a publication that supports policymakers, humanitarian organizations, and researchers working to better protect migrants and support affected families.

The publication brings together analytical content and visual design through mapping, data visualization, and editorial layout, forming a structured system that communicates migration routes, risks, and policy contexts.
