Survivors’ Network Africa, a Kumba-based Non-Governmental Organization has championed the commemoration of the World Day Against Trafficking in Persons'

Designated by the United Nations organization, the 30th of July is a day to raise awareness of the problem of human trafficking and a call for action to end this form of modern-day slavery.

In commemoration of this day, this Kumba-based non-profit organization, conducted a series of Radio and TV talks to sensitize the population.

With support from Volunteers, they embarked on a massive sensitization on the streets, posting flyers in motor parks and educational facilities to share information, raise awareness about the growing problems of human trafficking, and to effect change that will ultimately end this crime.

According to Ebot Whitney, programs coordinator, human trafficking is a crime that occurs all over, in our community, and even in our homes, involving labor exploitation, organ harvesting, and child labor.

Commemorated under the theme “Use and abuse of Technology," the goal is to put the spotlight on technology which is considered the number one tool used by traffickers to lure their victims.

Survivors’ Network Africa is leading the fight against human trafficking, with a formidable team made of female survivors of human trafficking.

With support from partners like FREEDOM FOR ALL and other grassroots organization they have supported thousands of survivors of human trafficking.
