Gov�t urges NGOs to fight human trafficking

Officiating at the three-day training on Trafficking in Persons in Phakalane Gold Estate, Bagopi said that civil societies are better placed to detect incidents of human trafficking as some of them operate in remote areas where these cases are most prevalent due to the vulnerability of the people.  “With the requisite training, I am convinced that you will be able to detect human trafficking and assist government to prosecute perpetrators, protect victims and prevent future incidents of human trafficking,” Bagopi said.

He added that although most civil societies operate with limited resources due to scarcity of donors, there has to be a way to generate funds to ensure that the fight against human trafficking and other social ills continues.
