The Anti-Human Smuggling and Trafficking in Persons (AHSTIP) Unit of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS), Aflao Sector Command, and its partners have pledged to work together to combat human trafficking in border communities.
Human trafficking-which involves the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring, or receipt of people, including children, women, and men through force, fraud, or deception, for the purpose of exploitation and profit-has become rampant along certain routes in the Volta Region.
This commitment was made during a school outreach programme at Three-Town Senior High School (SHS) in Denu.
The outreach was organised by the Handmaids of the Divine Redeemer Sisters Foundation (HDRSF), an indigenous Catholic women's religious congregation, and the International Centre for Safe Migration (ICSM), in partnership with the AHSTIP Unit.
