A total of 2,300 students of the Three Town Senior High School (SHS) at Denu have participated in an outreach education programme on human trafficking and its effect on national development, and the need for the youth to report suspects to the law enforcement agencies.
The students were taken through activities of traffickers, how they could report suspects, cyber trafficking and the methods being used in the illicit activities being carried out across the borders, including the Aflao border, and the need to bring such activities to an end.
Addressing the students at Denu in the Ketu South Municipality of the Volta Region, the Assistant Superior General of the Handmaids of the Divine Redeemers Sisters Foundation (HDRSF), Regina Ignatia Afla, explained that the educative programme dubbed: 'Amewuga' advocacy campaign aimed at raising awareness on human trafficking.
Ms Afla said her outfit had waged a relentless war against human trafficking, and concentrating on protection of migrants' rights, building resilience of women, girls and children against what she called modern slavery, abuse and exploitation of the vulnerable in society.
