11, Number 2, 2025, of the African Human Mobility Review (AHMR).This issue features original, high-quality research papers, exploring diverse aspects of human mobility across Africa.With the support of the Editorial Board and a global network of interdisciplinary scholars, AHMR continues to offer timely and relevant scholarship that informs evidence-based policymaking and deepens the understanding of migration on the continent.We extend our sincere thanks to all contributors, authors, our publisher, and the anonymous reviewers whose rigorous efforts uphold the journal's academic integrity.This issue includes five peer-reviewed articles that foster original research, stimulate policy dialogue, and provide a platform for examining current trends, migration dynamics, and critical issues shaping mobility in Africa.Our commitment remains to elevate AHMR's global presence and scholarly impact with each publication.The first article by Tigist Solomon, Darge Wole, and Abebaw Minaye is entitled "Knowledge of and Attitudes toward Child Trafficking in Wolaita Sodo, Southern Ethiopia: Insights from the Origin Community." Using a mixed-method research approach, this study explores knowledge and attitudes toward child trafficking among residents of Wolaita Sodo Town, southern Ethiopia.The findings reveal that the majority of participants lacked adequate knowledge about child trafficking, with the qualitative results supporting this finding.Residents showed empathy and a willingness to prevent trafficking but often viewed migration as an opportunity, thus complicating awareness.The study recommends targeted education, community campaigns, school programs, and local engagement to improve understanding.Future research should examine broader prevention strategies, policy frameworks, and cultural factors, while incorporating victims' lived experiences to deepen insight into child trafficking and enhance community-driven solutions.The second article by Ins Raimundo and Victor Agadjanian is entitled "Rowing Against Climate Adversity and Lack of Family Support: The Everyday Lives of Migrants' Wives in Rural Mozambique." Using a mixed-methods approach, this study examines rural women's experiences in the face of climate adversity and declining family support.For decades, these women relied on income from their husbands' migrant labor in South Africa to sustain farming and household needs.However,
