IVLP Impact Award Project: Radio Program on Trafficking in Persons in Guinea-Bissau

This project raised awareness among the population regarding what Trafficking in Persons is and how to identify victims. The project also encouraged the government to charge and prosecute parties engaging in Trafficking in Persons in Guinea-Bissau. A 25-episode radio program was produced to discuss these issues. A partnership with the Judiciary police was created to add an emergency number for reporting cases of trafficking in persons.
