I am a board member of an organisation called HAART that works against human trafficking. The issue of human trafficking for me is a very important one, myself as, as a teenager I have been trafficked. This happened when I was in secondary school and one night, the traffickers came in the night and then they kidnapped all of us. We stayed there for about 3 months but because the conditions were so inhuman, though there was that death threat, we tried by all means to escape from them.
Now the concrete steps that can be done are exactly what now I am involved in, with this organisation HAART. That was founded by Mr Radoslaw Malinowski. That is working in Kenya trying to re-implement the 4 P’s against human trafficking. TO promote the awareness, to protect those who were trafficked and also to involve in the kind of er influencing those who make the policies, the government and the different organisation. To raise awareness about this evil, this scourge of a kind of threat against really human dignity. A very degrading kind of practice tha tis gaining momentum, er in Africa in different, in different countries.
