Cecilia Abena Dapaah, the Head of Human Trafficking Secretariat, Madam Abena Annobea congratulated the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority for the immerse support in organising such an educative programme.According to her, human trafficking is an organised crime and individuals can be recruited in diverse ways, hence the reason the Ministry partnering with the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority organised the forum to sensitize participants from the various institutions."It is the duty of the state of Ghana and the Ministry to protect the rights of the vulnerable especially women and children," she added.The Head of the Secretariat therefore hinted that MoGCSP has commemorated the 2022 World Day against Trafficking in Persons in Accra, to launch the National Plan of Action (NPA) as a commitment to end human trafficking.She emphasized that stakeholders should be informed on the dangers associated with the menace through awareness creation, raising campaigns and capacity building programmes."This, will help the public gain a better understanding of the complex issues of human trafficking and irregular migration to improve the detections, investigations and prosecution of suspected human traffickers and smugglers," she stated.Madam Annobea Asare in the end noted that human trafficking is a security threat to the nation, thus stakeholders, law enforcement officers and participants should come together and fight the canker in the country.She officially declared the the training workshop opened.In a statement read on behalf of the Director General General of Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA), Madam Juliet Aboagye-Wiafe, the Deputy Director General GCAA, Mr. Daniel Acquah indicated that since Air travel is a quick means of transport for passengers to various destinations, perpetrators of human trafficking activities have not been spared to carry out such heinous crimes.She bemoaned that though prevention is the goal, raising awareness is an important effort in combating trafficking and all forms of exploitation in the country."This requires the involvement and training of the various stakeholders in identifying and responding to trafficking in persons which will in turn help to overcome fear and apathy among Aviation Personnel," she said.She called on all stakeholders and Aviation Personnel to join forces, share knowledge, expand the scope and in a collaborative spirit to eradicate the inhuman act since the battle can not be fought alone. A representative from Ghana Immigration Service HQ on her part advised participants, law enforcement Officers, the media, agencies, among others to form partnerships with international, governmental and non-governmental organizations to support joint investigations into trafficking crimes in the fight to stop the menace.Present at the forum were the Head of Human Trafficking Secretariat, Madam Abena Annobea Asare, representing the Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources also the Caretaker Minister for MoGCSP, Hon.
