Human trafficking is now a national security concern which requires a deeper study.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brig Namanya further noted that the digitized approach to awareness raising on TiP will improve the management of safe, orderly, and regular migration and support the national response and referral mechanism to end human trafficking in Uganda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fight against human trafficking requires concerted efforts at different levels. A number of interventions are still being undertaken by the civil society organisations to continue building awareness right from the rural areas where most of the trafficking begins, to the law enforcement teams and to those who assist survivors in coping with distress,\u201d said Ms Olive Birungi Lumonya, the UCAA deputy director general.<\/p>\n<p>She added that the equipment shall go a long way in sensitising the people who, up to the time of leaving the airport, are not aware they are being trafficked.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Sanusi Tejan Savage, the IOM Chief of Mission in Uganda said: \u201cThe Screens will be installed at the waiting, departure, and arrival areas to display audio-visual preventive and protective messages in English, Luganda, and Swahili to help both in-coming and out-going migrants to make informed migration decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/uganda\">Uganda<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Uganda.
