The Human Trafficking Secretariat has held a special training for its workers. This is an effort by the Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection.
The purpose of the training was to give staff new and useful skills. These skills will help them in their important work to stop human trafficking.
Human trafficking is a serious crime where people are treated like property and forced to work or do other acts against their will.
The secretariat is part of the government's plan to protect citizens from this abuse. By improving the skills of its officers, the government hopes to be more effective.
This capacity-building exercise is seen as a key step in strengthening Ghana's response to trafficking.
The training focused on practical methods that staff can use in their daily duties.
Better trained staff can identify victims more easily and gather evidence against traffickers.
The Ministry of Gender, Children, and Social Protection leads the national efforts against human trafficking.
