The Ministry of Human Services and Social Security in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) over the Easter weekend embarked on a campaign in Region Nine to educate residents and visitors on the issue of Trafficking in Persons (TIP).

According to a release from the Government Information Agency (GINA), over the past years, the ministry has sought to heighten awareness of TIP, and in the process has been visiting several regions, targeting communities that are most likely to be affected by TIP.  During April, the campaign will continue in regions One and Seven.
