US Trafficking Report: Ghana's Tier 1 ranking welcome, but more must be done – Challenging Heights

Challenging Heights has welcomed Ghana's elevation to Tier 1 in the United States Department of State's 2026 Trafficking in Persons Report, describing it as an important milestone while calling for renewed action to close the gaps that still leave people vulnerable."The ranking must not create the impression that trafficking has been defeated; a lot more remains to be done," the statement said, adding that Challenging Heights would continue to support rescue operations, help survivors rebuild their lives, strengthen communities and advocate for systems that prevent exploitation."Having worked to end child trafficking in Ghana since 2005, Challenging Heights sees this as an important milestone and clear evidence that collaboration works.
