Africa-Press – Namibia. <\/strong><\/span>Windhoek, April 21\u2013 It is reported that about 26 young Namibian women aged between 27-and 40 have left the country allegedly in pursuit of greener pastures.<\/p>\n

It is further alleged that these women engaged a facilitator here in Namibia who lures them into accepting job offers abroad. Trips to these countries including work visas can cost up to N$40 000-00 which is mostly covered by the facilitators but to be paid back once employed on the other side.<\/p>\n

Disappointingly, upon arrival, the promised salary, as well as living and working conditions, are normally not as promised to cause disputes between the employee and the employer. Employees however are not allowed to come back until they payback. Victims are then forced into exploitative and even life-threatening situations.<\/p>\n

STATISTICS<\/p>\n

Cases of Human Trafficking reported to the Namibian Police Force so far (from April 2010 to March 2022) indicate a total of 77 cases of which;<\/p>\n

28 cases are under investigation<\/p>\n

26 cases were finalized<\/p>\n

17 cases still on the court roll<\/p>\n

06 cases pending PG\u2019s decision<\/p>\n

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC<\/p>\n

We\u2019re concerned about these unfortunate developments in our society and we cannot allow our women to be lured into these supposed lucrative criminal industries. Hence we appeal to the public to report all suspicious incidents of this nature to the nearest police station.<\/p>\n
