WORLD DAY AGAINST TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS COMMEMORATED

Each year on 30 July, we observe WORLD DAY AGAINST TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS. This year’s theme was “Leave No Child Behind in the Fight Against Human Trafficking”. This year’s global campaign focuses on the vulnerability of children and urges accelerated action to end child trafficking. Children are subjected to various forms of trafficking, including exploitation in forced labor, criminality or begging, trafficked for illegal adoption, and online and sexual abuse and exploitation. According to the UNODC’s Global Report on Trafficking in Persons, one in three victims of human trafficking is a child.

To commemorate and highlight awareness of this day, TAKUZA and other stakeholders held march from East Park to Long Acres Mall. TAKUZA being a Network of Religious Women and Men whose mission is to end Human Trafficking; extended an invitation to other Religious to join in this noble cause.
