The indifference to human abuse and exploitations
around the world has taken a negative toll on the society.
Therefore, the GEPCare Foundation has concluded
plans to organise a two-day summit to fight against human trafficking with the
theme: ‘Getting Involved’ in Ireland.
The summit, according to the organisers, will
feature a seminar, the movie screening of ‘Osato’, a movie based on the true
story of a trafficked victim, who raises awareness on the ills of human trafficking,
and a fundraiser geared at engaging industry stakeholders; the flashpoint demography
and the government in order to commit to working together in line with
the global goals of United Nations against the
trafficking of persons.
Riding on the valuable partnership it has with
reputable government bodies and organisations, such as the Nigerian Embassy,
the Office of the Deputy
Senate President of Nigeria, and support from the
Department of Justice and
Equality, the GEPCare Foundation said it aimed to
use this summit to bring more awareness and shine more light on the stigma,
whilst seeking ways to reduce it to its possible minimum.
The Foundation said: “We urge you, with a sense of
urgency, to join this multilateral action! We invite you to attend this
life-changing summit that aims to contribute to the exposure and reduction of human
trafficking beast. It is time to speak out.”
It added that from construction to food production to
consumer goods, countless businesses and enterprises have benefited from human
trafficking. “There is no doubt, we all have a role to play in bringing an end
to this scourge of human trafficking,” it said.
