It is sad that most of the human trafficking and adoption crimes reported to the agency are committed by womenThis workshop is aimed at equipping NGOs involved in the fight against human trafficking and teaching them the social dangers of child labour, battery and other domestic crimes.This will help address emerging issues in the trafficking of persons and illegal adoption procedures in the country.We are advocating increased enlightenment, especially at the grassroots, where many people ignorantly give out their children and also where these crimes are mostly committed.
