Celoha Nigeria Holds One-Day Roundtable Discussion to Commemorate World Day Against Trafficking in Persons
The Centre for Legal Orientation and Humanitarian Aid Initiative (CELOHA Nigeria) convened a one-day roundtable discussion to commemorate the World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, bringing together key stakeholders to strengthen collective efforts against human trafficking.
The roundtable brought together government stakeholders, social workers, students, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Community-Based Organizations (CBOs), and other relevant actors** to discuss this year’s campaign theme, , and examine the growing risks associated with deceptive recruitment, online scams, exploitation, and trafficking.
The discussion provided a platform for participants to share experiences, insights, best practices, and practical approaches** to preventing trafficking, protecting victims and survivors, and improving referral and response mechanisms.
Participants also explored international standards and good practices in combating trafficking in persons, emphasizing the importance of a coordinated, survivor-centred and rights-based approach.
The roundtable highlighted the need for stronger collaboration among government institutions, civil society, communities, educational institutions and other stakeholders to identify emerging trafficking trends, raise public awareness, prevent exploitation and ensure that victims and survivors have access to appropriate protection, justice and support services.
CELOHA Nigeria remains committed to promoting **human rights, child protection, safe migration, prevention of trafficking, and meaningful stakeholder engagement** towards building safer and more resilient communities.
Together, we can expose the scam, protect people from exploitation, and ensure that no one is trapped behind the scam.
