A recent study found that seven out of every ten human trafficking cases reported in Ghana do not proceed to prosecution.
This means that many individuals who are victims of serious crimes like forced labour and exploitation do not see justice.
Children are often rescued from forced labour situations, particularly on Lake Volta.
Young women are also targeted through fake job offers and recruitment schemes.
Vulnerable people are trafficked across borders with false promises of better lives.
Each case represents a violation of a person's rights and a criminal offence.
The research highlights a major gap between reported cases and successful prosecutions.
This situation raises concerns about the effectiveness of the justice system in addressing human trafficking.
