To mark this year’s International Day against Trafficking in Persons (TIP) which will be observed on Saturday July 30th, the Supreme Court of Judicature is hosting a series of discussions on what it describes as “protective measures” for addressing “the modern-day slavery” and the law in relation to TIP offences.
The first of those talks was held on Tuesday morning’s 94.1 radio programme with Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan who sought to explain what constitutes TIP and how it is punished by law.
Magistrate McLennan who is President of the Guyana Association of Women Judges (GAWJ) said the association is hoping to raise awareness of what she said is a “serious modern-day slavery crime.”
