Today, July 30, is the “World Day Against Trafficking in Persons.”
With the theme “Victims’ Voices Lead the Way,” the Commission on Human Rights said human trafficking is a grave violation of the rights and dignity of victims, and “they are often misunderstood in their journey towards healing.”
“Because of this, it is important to include the voice of survivors in the fight against human trafficking,” it said.
In its social media account, the CHR said: “This victim-centered approach in crafting measures towards preventing the crimes, rescuing the victims, and supporting their recovery and rehabilitation emphasizes the value of listening and learning from survivors.”
