Theme: “Human trafficking is Organized Crime – End the Exploitation”
On 30th July 2025, Consolation joined fellow Counter-Trafficking in Persons (CTiP) partners, government agencies, civil society, private sector, and community representatives in commemorating the World Day Against Trafficking in Persons (WDATiP) at the Nakuru ASK Showground.
This year’s global theme, “Human trafficking is Organized Crime – End the Exploitation”, reminds us that human trafficking remains one of the world’s fastest-growing organized crimes. Victims are trafficked across borders and within countries, often subjected to forced labour, sexual exploitation, coercion into criminal activities, and digital exploitation.
Event Highlights
The Nakuru commemoration was graced by CPA Caren Ageng’o, Principal Secretary, State Department for Children Services, who emphasized the government’s commitment to strengthening the fight against trafficking in persons through multi-agency collaboration and victim-centred protection.
Partners such as Kenya Airways showcased their role in enhancing vigilance across air travel and global supply chains. Survivors played a central role in the day’s activities, with the Survivors’ Network delivering a moving skit on human trafficking, illustrating the realities of exploitation and resilience. Other performances from local groups added vibrancy to the campaign while driving home the urgent call to action.
Why This Year’s Theme Matters
According to the UN, more than 200,000 victims were detected globally between 2020 and 2023, with countless others going unreported. Organized criminal networks exploit migration flows, digital platforms, and economic loopholes to profit from human misery.
This year’s campaign places law enforcement and the criminal justice system at the forefront—emphasizing proactive investigations, financial tracking of traffickers, cross-border cooperation, and survivor-centred justice.
Our Commitment
As an organization, we reaffirm our commitment to:
Raising awareness in communities on the dangers of human trafficking.
Supporting survivors with protection, psychosocial care, and access to justice.
Collaborating with government, civil society, and private sector partners to dismantle trafficking networks.
Together, we can end exploitation and ensure justice for all survivors.
