The International Justice Mission (IJM) has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening its partnership with the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection (MoGCSP) to combat child trafficking, exploitation and other forms of violence against children. Ms Budu said IJM has worked closely with the Ministry since 2015 to strengthen Ghana's child protection systems and support government efforts to tackle child trafficking and child exploitation. She explained that the visit was to formally engage the Minister, brief her on the progress of the partnership and reaffirm the organisation's commitment to supporting the Ministry's child protection agenda. She expressed the Ministry's readiness to deepen its partnership with IJM to achieve greater impact in safeguarding children across the country. The Minister noted that the collaboration has yielded significant results, including support for strengthening child protection systems, advocacy initiatives, joint child rescue operations, public education on child protection laws and interventions aimed at addressing child labour.
