Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Uganda has called for \u201curgency in the end to human trafficking\u201d in order to address a surging number of victims of financial and sexual exploitation linked to the crime, which have dotted the world for decades.<\/b><\/p>\n

“This is a fight we cannot afford to lose,” top Ugandan diplomat Abbey Walusimbi emphasized at the 2024 Global Security Liberalization Symposium in Canada.<\/p>\n

The world is currently contending with human trafficking as thousands \u2013worldwide- face brutal experiences mostly marked by severe exploitation.<\/p>\n

\u201cUganda and all global powers must strengthen their collaboration with global partners to dismantle trafficking rings and shield the defenseless,\u201d Ambassador Walusimbi, who is also the East African country\u2019s senior presidential advisor on diaspora affairs remarked.<\/p>\n

“Our cross-border initiatives must be stringent with legal frameworks designed to disrupt trafficking networks,” he added.<\/p>\n

On her part, Ugandan third deputy Prime Minister Rukia Nakadama urged hospitality for migrants and refugees from around the world seeking to avoid cruelty.<\/p>\n

“Our approach in Uganda goes beyond mere shelter. We invest in refugees, allowing them to cultivate land, access education and healthcare, and contribute to the economy. It’s about dignity and long-term stability,” she observed of Uganda\u2019s open-refugee policy.<\/p>\n

Starting 2024, Uganda is Africa\u2019s leading as well as the world\u2019s 4th largest refugee home, hosting over 1.6million of them, including more than 40, 000 asylum seekers, per government data.<\/p>\n

“We see the value and potential in every individual seeking refuge within our borders. We are not just offering sanctuary but empowering contributors to our society,” Nakadama noted in Ontario.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the symposium organized by Canadian firm OEIS Investigation and Security also deliberated education initiatives, cyber and cyber security among others.<\/p>\n

“In an era where our children’s safety is increasingly threatened by cyber predators, it\u2019s imperative to collaborate on digital literacy and robust cyber laws,” Niagara Falls Mayor Rick Birman held.<\/p>\n

At the sidelines of the symposium, Ugandan officials and Canadian government representatives discussed the possibility of a framework that would allow Ugandans to seek skilled employment in Canada.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe talks were promising, laying the groundwork for a bilateral agreement that would facilitate the exchange of talent and expertise between the two nations,\u201d Ugandan officials told <\/b>on Friday.<\/p>\n

FYI <\/b><\/p>\n

Over 50 high-level authorities addressed the symposium including Jamaican and Chadian ambassadors, Canadian police detective inspector Sharon Hanlon, Detective Staff Sergeant Brown Michael Reventar, public health entrepreneur Lisa Stark Hughes, and a string of other legal and security experts.<\/p>\n
