Public proclamations on the end of slavery are deceitful by causing the masses to assume that human trafficking came to an end. Unfortunately, it is still thriving underground. It takes individual and community effort to counter human trafficking in its present day format. Here are ways to help stop this vice.
Demand formal papers whenever you are dealing with employees. Persons who have been trafficked usually get work or receive services without papers. This is one of the ways to perpetuate this terrible tradition. If all employers demanded papers from all the persons they served, it would be easier to stop traffickers because they would find no way of keeping their victims around.
Pile pressure on corporate bodies to take a stand and put in place measures to curb this problem within their systems. A public declaration sends shock waves in the industry and stops activities that could be taking place underground. People working for such an organization are also enjoined in the campaign. The organizations push their associates, clients and suppliers to also adapt similar stands. This closes down opportunities for traffickers.
Provide opportunities to those freed from the vice. People who have been trafficked face difficult challenges integrating into the society after release. Some remain trapped in slavery because they do not see an alternative to this slavery. Employers who provide an option those released become a part of the team building hope. It gives courage to others to ditch slavery because they know that the world has options for them.
Organize sensitization campaigns at local level. These are activities to raise awareness on continued existence of this vice and how individuals can participate in stopping it. Work closely with religious organizations and community groups. The school is also one of the avenues you can use to change the situation, especially targeting the future. Show participants how to spot victims and where they can direct them for help.
Make a professional commitment to help victims who land on your desk or along the path. These victims will always require health services, representation in court, media coverage or salvation from perpetrators. Be vigilant and willing to help. You play a part in ending the problem and also help victims directly. If every professional worked towards a safer society, it would be easier to end the problem.
Do not condone the vice at personal level. If you are an employer, demand that all your employees are legitimate citizens. Do not participate in activities that would support or lead to the growth of human trafficking. In case you come across people who have been trafficked, it is time to report the cases to authorities so that action can be taken. People within your network will know that such wickedness does not have any place in your life.
Publicizing human trafficking issues creates necessary awareness and contributes to its end. Perpetrators will be afraid because everyone is fighting against their actions. Individual efforts will contribute to the end of the problem or its reduction. Victims also need help and support to hasten their recovery.
