Public proclamations on the end of slavery are deceitful by causing the masses to assume that human trafficking came to an end. Unfortunately, it is still thriving underground. It takes individual and community effort to counter human trafficking in its present day format. Here are ways to help stop this vice.
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.
Provide opportunities to those freed from the vice. People who have been trafficked face difficult challenges integrating into the society after release. Some remain trapped in slavery because they do not see an alternative to this slavery. Employers who provide an option those released become a part of the team building hope. It gives courage to others to ditch slavery because they know that the world has options for them.
Organize sensitization campaigns at local level. These are activities to raise awareness on continued existence of this vice and how individuals can participate in stopping it. Work closely with religious organizations and community groups. The school is also one of the avenues you can use to change the situation, especially targeting the future. Show participants how to spot victims and where they can direct them for help.
Make a professional commitment to help victims who land on your desk or along the path. These victims will always require health services, representation in court, media coverage or salvation from perpetrators. Be vigilant and willing to help. You play a part in ending the problem and also help victims directly. If every professional worked towards a safer society, it would be easier to end the problem.
Do not entertain this wickedness at personal level. This is especially important for employers and consumers. Only take in persons whose identity and status is verifiable. Buy goods and consume services from organizations that have taken a stand and put measures in place to end the vice. In case you come across such a case, report it to authorities. People around you must know that you do not condone this evil.
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. Take every opportunity you get to create a different situation. Help the victims and participate in stopping continued spread of the problem.
