[File Photo]The Human Rights and Anti-Discrimination Commission believes that the continued lack of prosecutions is undermining the response to human trafficking.
She adds that these gaps include failures in proactive victim identification, timely and proper investigations, effective prosecutions, and meaningful convictions.
The Director stresses that human trafficking is a grave violation of fundamental human rights, including the rights to dignity, liberty, and freedom from slavery.
Lewaravu is calling on the government to act with renewed political will by initiating prompt and independent investigations into all trafficking allegations.
She adds that effective enforcement, accountability, and coordination are critical to protecting victims, upholding human rights, and restoring public confidence in Fiji’s anti-trafficking response.
