Dr George Oppong Ampong, Executive Secretary of the Defence for Children International (DCI), a Kumasi-based children rights organization has said that child trafficking should be condemned outright in the society.
He therefore stressed the need for Ghanaians to give protection to children to enable them play positive role in the nation's socio-economic development.
Dr Ampong was speaking at a day's workshop on child trafficking at the weekend. It was jointly organized by the Social Research Associates, a consultancy firm and the DCI for 21 participants in Kumasi.
The aim of the workshop was to equip the participants with skills and expertise to help them educate people and communities in the Kumasi metropolis to halt child trafficking.
He advised them to adopt effective campaign strategies to sensitize people to know the dangers associated with the practice.
Dr Ampong announced that the DCI in collaboration with the Social Research Associates would launch anti-child trafficking campaign in Kumasi and appealed to the participants to identify problem communities and educate them on the need to address it.
