It is easy to assume that humans are safe from slavery after decades of abolition. However, it has slipped underground where unsuspecting and weak persons are now being trafficked without their knowledge or consent. Individuals have a role to play to counter human trafficking at the basic level and result in eventual abolition of the vice.
Insist on production of genuine papers by immigrants and anyone you will be engaging. A lot of these trafficked persons lack identification documents. They will offer excuses for lack of documents or because of intimidation. Once you insist, the opportunities will close. Report cases of people without identification documents to enable law enforcers to take necessary restoration actions.
Push corporate organizations in your radar to publicly declare their stand on the issue. This is meant to intimidate perpetrators and create a hostile environment for the vice to thrive. Once corporate organizations take a stand, others will follow suit. The people working for these organizations will also join the campaign. You have a larger group of crusaders, making it easier to achieve desired goals. They spread the demand to their suppliers, clients and associates. An entire sector will catch the fever and help end this wickedness.
Support victims to find justice and also integrate in the community. Help them get to authorities in case they need help or rescue. Provide opportunities for employment because the victims cannot compete fairly in the market. An employer could set aside several opportunities to accommodate released victims. Once they are financially empowered, they will be excellent champions for abolition of the vice.
Organize local sensitization activities to create more soldiers for a clean society. The activities should target community based organizations, religious organizations, social activities and the school system. People participating in the activities should know the signs to watch out for so that they can know that a person is being trafficked. Inform them of authorities to whom they can report such incidences. This ensures that everyone is playing his or her part in fighting the problem.
Take a step as a professional wherever you are working. Trafficking victims will seek such services as legal representation, medical help, the need for their stories to be highlighted on the media or action taken against perpetrators of these atrocities, among others. Help them by being more sensitive to their demands. It brings them closer to finding justice.
Make it a personal commitment not to tolerate people engaging in these vices. Employers have a crucial role to play in this endeavor. Do not offer a job to anyone without documentation. Make payment to people after verifying their identity and not to third parties. Consumers should only deal with companies and brands that have taken a stand as well as instituted measures to curb the vice. If every individual plays his or her part, this problem will be eradicated.
Publicize the issue of human trafficking and make everyone aware of the need to stop it. Individuals must know that they are the beginning of the end to such evil. Take every opportunity you get to create a different situation. Help the victims and participate in stopping continued spread of the problem.
