More than 50 women and girls from the Karamoja community joined local communities and partners in Kamkunji to commemorate the 2026 World Day Against Trafficking in Persons under the global theme "Trapped Behind the Scam."
The event brought together community members and partners to raise awareness of the risks of human trafficking, with a particular focus on the growing threat of recruitment scams that exploit people's hopes for employment and better opportunities.
As recruitment scams become more sophisticated, preventing trafficking requires more than enforcement, it demands awareness, trusted partnerships, and informed communities. Through collaboration, we can empower people with the knowledge to recognize the warning signs, verify opportunities, and seek help before exploitation occurs.
This initiative was implemented through a partnership between IOM and Kenya Airways as part of ongoing efforts to prevent trafficking in persons and promote safe and informed migration.
Supported by the BMM Programme, funded by European Union in Kenya & Bundesministerium fรผr wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit und Entwicklung (BMZ)
Know the signs. Verify opportunities. Speak up.
