Working together in combating human trafficking

We were also joined Instudio by Julayga Alfred - Director for the Activists networking against the exploitation of child domestic workers or Anex CDW. This is an organization that focuses on the eradication of the exploitation of children who are involved in cheap Labour or domestic trafficking from rural areas to urban areas. This week marks the commemoration of Human Trafficking Week which aims to create awareness of what human trafficking is, inform on child Labour and forced Labour. In addition, the week also aims to inform community members of the human trafficking helpline that exists, how to identify victims etc. Recently Anex CDW authored a submission to the South Africa Law Reform Commission in regards to the publication of the Prevention and Combating of Trafficking in Persons Bill, a bill that incorporates the Children’s Act of 2005 as well as the Sexual Offences Act of 2007. Julayga explained more about human trafficking. For more information contact Anex CDW on (021) 683 5520 or their countertrafficking helpline on 0800 555 999 alternatively visit www.anexcdw.org.za
