The International Justice Mission (IJM) has called for stronger collaboration among state institutions and civil society organisations to combat human trafficking, as new figures reveal that more than 1,200 victims were rescued in Ghana in 2025. Director of West Africa Programs at IJM, Anita Budu, said tackling the growing threat of human trafficking requires closer coordination between law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, social welfare institutions and development partners to improve investigations, protect survivors and secure more convictions. Her call comes as Ghana joins the rest of the World to commemorate the fight against human trafficking. “We've seen best results when institutions come together to share ideas, deliberate, and discuss ways that we can bridge gaps and move together forward stronger. Latest data from the Ghana Police Service indicates that 127 trafficking cases were recorded in 2025.
