Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The executive director at the National Agency Against Trafficking-In Persons (NAATIP) has disclosed that trafficking-in-persons (TIP) is a trans-national organised crime that for many years has affected every country in the world and The Gambia is not an exception.<\/b><\/p>\n

Isatou Dabo was speaking recently during a day\u2019s training organised for law enforcement officers in North Bank, Central River and Upper River Regions.<\/p>\n

The training, which centered on issues relating to National Referral Mechanism (NRM) and general understanding on Trafficking in Persons (TIP), was held at Metz Hotel Residence in Kololi.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the advocacy forms part of series of training the agency organised targeting law enforcement officers in the country.<\/p>\n

Dabo disclosed that trafficking-in-persons is second only to drug trafficking as the largest and most profitable organized crime ever.<\/p>\n

This, she said, gives a clue of how serious trafficking in person is, noting that no single institution can combat this growing organised crime.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing a trans-national organized crime, it is practically impossible to have an institution or agency fight this. It therefore, needs the collaboration of law enforcement, non-government organization, civil society organizations and all others that could be considered stakeholders in order for us to make a difference and protect the citizens of this country and all other citizens that may come into the country by way transit or final destination.\u201d<\/p>\n

To that end, Dabo took participants through various roles and mandates of the agency, screening methods and national referral mechanism.<\/p>\n

She expressed optimism that at the end of the day, participants would be au-fait with issues relating to trafficking in persons and be able to not only identify victims, but also conduct special interviews for possible referral of cases.<\/p>\n

Welcoming the participants earlier on, Tijan Faal, an investigator at NAATIP, underscored the importance of the training amid the surge in trans-national crimes including TIP.<\/p>\n

Faal described human trafficking as a serious threat that is really affecting \u2018our brothers and sisters\u2019, thus the need for take a proactive stance to combat it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs well all know people are being trafficked outside The Gambia, and also trafficked into the country like wise trafficked within the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

He reminded that The Gambia is classified as a source, destination and transit point and the human being is the commodity in human trafficking.<\/p>\n

\u201cVictims of human trafficking are subjected to all forms of abuse both physically and sexually. They abuse you, torture you, which takes one to the lowest degrading standards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Participants at the event included The Gambia Police Force, Customs and Excise, The Gambia Immigration Department, Drug Law Enforcement Agency -The Gambia, State Intelligence Services, among a host of others.<\/p>\n
