Engage Now Africa (ENA), in collaboration with Ensign Global University, organised a seminar on human trafficking to educate participants about human trafficking and exploitation.
The seminar aimed to equip attendees with the knowledge to identify warning signs and explore strategies for prevention and eradication.
The event attracted 57 participants, including medical professionals, gender advocates, and doctors. Thirty-seven attendees were present in person, while 20 joined virtually.

The program was hosted by Dr. Sandra Boatemaa Kushitor from Ensign Global University's Department of Community Health and Mr. Afasi Komla, Director of Engage Now Africa.
The Importance of Public Health Experts in Combating Human Trafficking
A key focus was the role of public health professionals in combating human trafficking, as healthcare workers play a vital role in identifying and preventing trafficking. They are often the first point of contact for victims.
As an anti-human trafficking organization, ENA recognizes the importance of engaging healthcare professionals in raising awareness and collaborating with survivor-led organizations.
The Trafficking in Persons Protocol defines human trafficking as a criminal offense and mandates rights for victims. Article 6(3)(c) obliges States Parties to support the physical, psychological, and social recovery of trafficking victims through cooperation with NGOs and civil society.

The seminar successfully highlighted emerging trends in human trafficking and explored comprehensive strategies for its eradication.
The interactive Q&A session sparked insightful discussions, and many public health professionals described the seminar as enlightening.
By the end of the seminar, participants had gained a deeper understanding of their role in identifying and supporting victims.
ENA also acknowledged the contributions of Madam Zoi Sakelliadou from the United Nations Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Office, Dr. Stephen Manortey, and Dr. Alberta Agudey from Ensign Global University's Faculty and Academic Registry.
