Ghana's gender ministry held a four-day meeting about helping trafficking victims. Officials from Ghana, Ivory Coast and Guinea shared ideas about running shelters. Minister Agnes Naa Momo Lartey praised France for building new safe houses. Workers have helped over 700 people escape trafficking since 2018. The new shelter at Aflao helps victims right at the border.
Expertise France supports countries fighting human trafficking across West Africa. The group builds shelters and trains police officers to spot victims. Sweta Bonnet leads the MIGRET project that funds these efforts. She said Ivory Coast plans to open its first government shelter for adults. Other countries want to copy Ghana's system of protecting trafficked people.
Human trafficking steals freedom from victims and breaks their spirit. Officials work hard to catch criminals and save people from slavery. The meeting teaches workers better ways to care for survivors. Countries must work together because traffickers cross borders easily. Standard rules help police and social workers do their jobs better.
