The launch took place in Lilongwe at Crossroads Hotel under the theme \u201cTime to Act to End Human Trafficking in Malawi\u201d through Tigwirane Manja Project in partnership with USAID, and Glohomo.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign, which will be implemented by Global Health Mobilisation (Glohomo), is supported by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to the sum of $1.275 million.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking at the launch, Homeland Minister Jean Sendeza said Malawi is committed to ending the acts of human trafficking and that is why they enacted human trafficking act in 2015 in order to fight the syndicate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHuman trafficking is often referred to modern day slavery and Malawi remains the leading country in terms of human trafficking for forced labour with girls and young women being trafficked locally for prostitution. This is a great day for Malawi and I urge other organizations to join hands to end this illegal business,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Sendeza further said that Malawians must be taught about what human trafficking is, as it is an issue that involves not only involves young girls, but also everyone who is forced to do some works away from their places. She also noted that in Malawi perpetrators are aided by people who are supposed to protect them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI call upon all stakeholders, including the three arms of government as well as the judiciary to join hands and deal with the acts of human trafficking in the country. Let me also take this opportunity to thank USAID for the funds provided to be used during the 90-day campaign,\u201d said Sendeza.<\/p>\n<p>In his remarks, Acting USAID Deputy Mission Director Mr Jeffrey Skarin said the US government is committed to supporting the fight against Human Trafficking in person in Malawi and he was glad to be part of the 90-day campaign in the fight against human trafficking.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNational action against human trafficking is an opportunity to protect human beings from further exploitation as there are so many gaps that need to be bridged by making sure that there is enough sensitisation across the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI therefore urge survivors of human trafficking to take the role of sharing their experiences with others so that they can understand better the evils of human trafficking,\u201d said Skarin.<\/p>\n<p>In his remarks, Executive Director of Global Hope Mobilization (Glohomo) Caleb Thole expressed concern that despite numerous efforts in fighting against human trafficking, the country is still behind in curbing Human trafficking. He added that it\u2019s time to act if the country is to end human trafficking.<\/p>\n<p>Thole also thanked Homeland Security Minister Jean Sendeza for her tireless efforts and encouragement she is providing towards the fight against Human trafficking fight in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s now time to act so as to end human trafficking in Malawi that\u2019s why we have engaged different stakeholders to join hands in dealing with the act once and for all. We are developing messages in banners, brochures, communities, and the campaign will use survivors to confess and give testimonies of how bad human trafficking is,\u201d said Thole.<\/p>\n<p>He then urged all citizens in the country to join hands in the fight, because the campaign will be meaningless if the traffickers will not be prosecuted and sentenced.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/malawi\">Malawi<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
