The Communication Strategy
Together with our supporters GIZ under the Better Migration Management Programme III funded by the European Union and the Federal Government of Germany, we launched a campaign to enlighten potential Victims of Trafficking (VoTs) in Kenya, on matters human trafficking, safe Organisations migration, (CSOs)Civil emergency Society phone numbers, government-run helplines, as well as access to the BMM-supported Digital Service Provider Directory (DSPD).
To accomplish this, we closely engage with Public Service Vehicle (PSV) companies, more specifically conductors, ticket salespeople and the management of matatu and long-distance bus associations (‘saccos’), whom we train to spot and support travellers at risk of becoming victim.
Milestones
- Mapped actors in the transport sector specifically 5 matatu saccos,10 bus saccos and 15 Truck companies.
- Conducted two trainings for matatu drivers, bus drivers, ticketing persons and conductors.
- Through the training, we enhanced awareness of human trafficking, ways of identifying victims of trafficking in persons and redress mechanisms.
- We sensitized the actors on the Communication Strategy project and the role of the Transport Sector in mitigating Human Trafficking.
