International Day against Trafficking in Persons (TIP) will be observed tomorrow, and as part of the local judiciary’s efforts to combat this scourge, it has placed significant emphasis on reporting the crime.
Recognizing underreporting as one of the major hindrances, the Guyana Association of Women Judges (GAWJ)—a major stakeholder in the fight—has over the past couple of days been sensitizing the public and even unsuspecting victims on the indicators of the offence.
To boost reporting, the association has been holding public discussions to highlight the protective measures in place here in Guyana for victims of human trafficking.
