An increasing number of countries in Africa and indeed the world over, can be categorised either as source, transit, or destination countries for victims of human trafficking. Human Trafficking falls into a number of categories these may include: forced labour, sexual exploitation, and organ trafficking. It is generally acknowledged that in many cases it is increasing difficult to identify, investigate and prosecute human trafficking cases.
AGA-Africa Programme training programmes and seminars on Human Trafficking are focused on how to identify, investigate, and prosecute human traffickers as well as share best practice in the protection and rehabilitation of actual or potential victims of trafficking. As a partner in justice, AGA-Africa Programme also organises seminars and conferences as forums which enhance awareness, knowledge and the skills required to combat human trafficking.
“The exploitation of human beings is a highly lucrative business for organized criminal groups. It is an illicit market which affects millions of victims worldwide every year. With traffickers making an estimated $32 billion annually, human trafficking is one of the world’s most shameful crimes and one which robs people of their dignity and basic rights.”
