What is World Day Against Trafficking?
World Day Against Trafficking is observed every year across the globe on July 30 to raise awareness about human trafficking and the protection of the rights of victims.
At the launch of Ghana's commemoration, the Chief Director of the MoGCSP, Dr Afisah Zakaria, urged stakeholders to continue sensitising and raising public awareness about human trafficking.
"The obligation of the ministry is to educate all classes of people as Ghana is a source of transit and a destination country. We need to increase awareness and community sensitization to address this menace.," she said.
