There is an assumption that once slavery was declared illegal, human trafficking ended. Unknown to many people, they are interacting with persons who have been trafficked from halfway across the globe. A lot of measures are in place to counter human trafficking but a lot still remains to be done. Individuals have a big role to play in ending the vice. Here are strategies an individual can embrace to win this war.
Only deal with agents, employees or service providers who show formal papers. Most persons who have been trafficked lack formal identification documents. They give excuses why they do not have the documents when seeking employment or public services. Should you encounter such a person, insist on formal papers and report to authorities if they are lacking. They could have been intimidated into silence.
Corporate organizations should be pushed to take a public stand. This is an intimidating position for traffickers because they know that the ground is hostile to their activities. The public statement of stand is then followed by concrete steps taken to prevent this wickedness from continuing. It involves demanding the same of your associates, suppliers and clients. These measures are entered as part of the system and changes can be felt.
Support victims to find justice and also integrate in the community. Help them get to authorities in case they need help or rescue. Provide opportunities for employment because the victims cannot compete fairly in the market. An employer could set aside several opportunities to accommodate released victims. Once they are financially empowered, they will be excellent champions for abolition of the vice.
Organize local sensitization activities to create more soldiers for a clean society. The activities should target community based organizations, religious organizations, social activities and the school system. People participating in the activities should know the signs to watch out for so that they can know that a person is being trafficked. Inform them of authorities to whom they can report such incidences. This ensures that everyone is playing his or her part in fighting the problem.
Take a step as a professional wherever you are working. Trafficking victims will seek such services as legal representation, medical help, the need for their stories to be highlighted on the media or action taken against perpetrators of these atrocities, among others. Help them by being more sensitive to their demands. It brings them closer to finding justice.
Do not condone the vice at personal level. If you are an employer, demand that all your employees are legitimate citizens. Do not participate in activities that would support or lead to the growth of human trafficking. In case you come across people who have been trafficked, it is time to report the cases to authorities so that action can be taken. People within your network will know that such wickedness does not have any place in your life.
Publicize the issue of human trafficking and make everyone aware of the need to stop it. Individuals must know that they are the beginning of the end to such evil.
