State Minister in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade, Senator Leslie Campbell, says the Government is committed to ridding the country of the crime of human trafficking.
Campbell, who was addressing a virtual Jamaica Diaspora Round Table on Trafficking in Persons (TIP) on Thursday said that “considerable” gains have already been made in tackling the issue.
These include strengthening the legal framework to ensure that perpetrators of human trafficking are held accountable and survivors are compensated, protected, and reintegrated safely into society.
“We have established a national referral mechanism. With the work of the National Taskforce Against Human Trafficking (NATFATIP), we are strengthening Jamaica’s legislative, institutional and operational capacity to combat TIP,” Mr. Campbell said.
