The fight against human trafficking is taking a strong stand in the schools of Kwahu Afram Plains, Eastern Ghana, led by the Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary. Sr. Joy Abuh, the representative of Talitha Kum Network for Ghana, is at the forefront of this important mission.
The ongoing sensitization program organized by Talitha Kum Network in Donkorkrom is making waves in the region. The Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, known for their dedication to helping the poor and oppressed, are driving this initiative to educate students about the dangers of human trafficking.
Sr. Joy Abuh, a Nigerian-born missionary, is passionately visiting schools in the villages to raise awareness about the deceptive tactics used by human traffickers. Schools like St. Michael’s Junior High School, Atakora Basic School, St. Mary’s Vocational/Technical Senior High School, and Donkorkrom Agricultural Senior High School have benefited from these enlightening sessions.
During these campaigns, students are educated about the risks and consequences of falling prey to human trafficking, such as forced labor and modern-day slavery. Sr. Joy emphasizes the importance of vigilance and reporting any suspicious activities to the authorities for protection.
Through the dedication of organizations like Talitha Kum Ghana Network, comprised of consecrated men and women, lay people, and the support of the Conference of Major Superiors of Religious (CMSR-Gh), efforts are being made to combat human trafficking at various levels. Their advocacy and sensitization programs aim to create awareness about the dangers of seeking better opportunities in urban areas, thus preventing vulnerable individuals from becoming victims.
The vision is clear – to eradicate human trafficking not just in Ghana but worldwide. With the commitment of individuals like Sr. Joy and the collaborative efforts of organizations like Talitha Kum Ghana Network, we move closer to a future free from the shackles of exploitation and abuse.
