Wife of the Anambra State Governor, Dr Nonye Soludo, has called for stronger collaboration among governments, institutions, communities and families to eliminate human trafficking in all its forms.
She said this year’s theme, “Trapped Behind the Scam,” highlights the growing threat of human trafficking driven by online scam networks, where unsuspecting victims are lured with fake job offers and forced into criminal activities.
