Gambian journalists received specialized training from the National Agency Against Trafficking in Persons to enhance their coverage of human trafficking cases affecting vulnerable populations. The capacity-building session at NaNA Conference Hall emphasized accurate and sensitive reporting on exploitation involving forced labor, sexual abuse, and other violations.
Program Officer Momodou Drammeh told participants that their reporting can protect individuals from trafficking networks while raising public awareness about prevention. Gambia Press Union Vice President Sheriff Saidykhan noted the country remains on Tier 2 of a U.S. State Department trafficking assessment, highlighting the need for stronger national responses. He said media professionals play a vital role in exposing both online and offline exploitation patterns.
The agency coordinates with law enforcement and partner organizations to prevent trafficking while supporting survivor rehabilitation and reintegration.
