He added that the need for schoolchildren to continue their education at tertiary institutions is used by traffickers as bait to lure parents by claiming that they(traffickers) can help their children to further their education abroad and in the process, they end up in the hands of human traffickers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, enlightening the local people about this issue will help to reduce the rate of trafficking of their children, especially students,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Faal stressed that it is important to enlighten people about human trafficking, especially the local people, adding trafficking is a concern in The Gambia and that NAATIP deems it imperative to fight the vice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis initiative will have a great impact because they(participants) will have the idea and knowledge about human trafficking and anytime they get involved in any kind of trafficking, they will be able to easily identify traffickers. This will help them to not agree to give them(traffickers) their children to send them to the Middle East to be trafficked and exploited,\u201d the deputy head of investigations highlighted.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, human trafficking is against the law and any individual involved in it should face the music, adding it is essential to enlighten people about human trafficking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough this awareness(forum), we can be able to combat human trafficking,\u201d he hoped.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
