The organisers also used the programme to highlight the growing importance of digital safety in the fight against human trafficking, stressing that young people needed to understand how online platforms could be exploited by criminals.

They included Mr Afasi Komla, Director of Engage Now Africa and an anti-human trafficking expert; Chief Superintendent Alberta Ankrah, National Head of the Anti-Human Smuggling and Trafficking in Persons Unit (AHSTIP) of the Ghana Immigration Service; and SO Salome Gene, National Acting Head of the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit of the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO).

The organisers stressed that preventing human trafficking required sustained public education, particularly among young people who were increasingly exposed to digital risks.
