Sandra Vermuijten

Head of the Advice Centres

I am a human rights lawyer with more than 20 years of international experience working on labour migration, social dialogue, gender policies, sustainable development, employment promotion and international labour standards. In Nigeria, we aim to develop and adopt innovative strategies to promote employment and reintegration, while building a strong network of local and international partners, supporting Nigerian youth to be best they can. We are a team of dedicated professionals and work in close collaboration with our Nigerian government partner, the Migrant Resource Centers of the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment.
