    Gasabo embarks on fight against human trafficking

    Gasabo embarks on fight against human trafficking

    Gasabo District officials are campaigning for dialogue between parents and children as a way of curtailing human trafficking and fighting use of drugs among the youth.

    The District Mayor, Stephen Rwamurangwa believes that “With dialogue between children and their parents, it’s where you teach them moral behaviours.”

    Effective this holiday, set to end on January 28, the District has been engaging parents and children, through different recreational events, where messages against human trafficking and use of drugs are passed.

    In an interview during a holiday social camp that was organized by Gisozi sector youth council, Rwamurangwa emphasized that: “We are committed to shaping solid foundation of Rwanda’s future. The journey starts with setting up possible measures to give our youth an exemplary upbringing.”

    In December last year, during the 12th National Dialogue Council, President Paul Kagame said that “Rwandans are not for sale” and warned anyone involved in trafficking Rwandan citizens.

    “We cannot accept that Rwandan people be traded like commodities. We must fight this bad habit. It should stop now,” warned the President.

    For Mayor Rwamurangwa, the campaign should serve as an example to all Rwandans, especially parents.

    “We want our children to be primary custodians of their safety against human trafficking and use of drugs.”

    Pius Ruhinda, an official from Gisozi sector commended the initiative, and called on children to uphold Rwandan values, even while at school.

    Apart from such campaigns, the district has initiated a project to support youth to become job creators. In Gisozi sector so far, youths are engaged in income generating activities.
