Kenya Airways has joined
efforts with key stakeholders to raise awareness on human trafficking and
promote community action against the crime as part of activities marking World
Day Against Trafficking in Persons.
The airline, in partnership
with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Office of the
Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) and other stakeholders, participated in
a community outreach programme in Shauri Moyo aimed at educating residents on
human trafficking prevention and response mechanisms.
The engagement focused on
increasing public understanding of human trafficking, including available
reporting channels, the rights and responsibilities of victims, rescue
mechanisms and the role communities can play in identifying and preventing
trafficking activities.
Kenya Airways said the
initiative reflects its commitment to supporting programmes that protect
vulnerable communities and promote safe and dignified travel.
The airline noted that
partnerships with government agencies, international organisations and
community stakeholders remain critical in addressing human trafficking and
ensuring greater awareness of the risks associated with the crime.
Through continued
collaboration, Kenya Airways said it will continue supporting initiatives that
contribute to the protection of individuals, strengthening community resilience
and advancing efforts to combat human trafficking.
