Deputy permanent secretary in the Ministry of Defence, Justice and Security, Ikwatlhaeng Bagopi has challenged civil societies to assist in the fight to end trafficking in persons.

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.
