As part of the programme, on June 29, 2022, the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit of the Central Regional Police Command embarked on an outreach programme at some selected basic schools at Gomoa-Dago in the Central Region.
The outreach programme, was aimed at sensitising the pupils on the phenomenon of child trafficking, its adverse effects on victims and the society as a whole. The team also took the opportunity to educate the pupils and staff on sexual offences and how to mitigate such occurrences. They were also encouraged to report sexual offences to the police for action.
In all, 1, 015 pupils and 15 teachers from Gomoa-Dago Basic A & B, Trinity Academy and Success Academy participated in the sensitisation programme together with two Assembly Members from the Gomoa-Dago community.
