Dear John, 

Equality Now, Trace Kenya, Lifebloom, and People Serving Girls at Risk invite you to attend our upcoming webinar on state responsibility to prevent and protect women and girls from sex trafficking, commemorating World Day Against Trafficking in Persons.

Trafficking in persons is a serious crime and an extremely complex human rights challenge, particularly because it is often underreported, and there is limited global data on its prevalence. Globally, women and girls consistently represent over 90 percent of all victims trafficked for sexual exploitation.

We are bringing together stakeholders to discuss how to enhance state responsibility to prevent sex trafficking in Africa, by solving the systemic issues that perpetuate the cycle of exploitation. The webinar will foster discussions with civil society organizations from Eastern and Southern Africa to share their experiences in the fight to end sex trafficking in Africa. 

Mark your calendars for July, 29 2024 from 4.00 PM to 5.30 PM East African Time.

We look forward to having you join this crucial conversation.

In solidarity
