Nairobi (Kenya), 14 December – Thanks to funding by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the European Union (EU) Emergency Trust Fund for Africa (EUTF), UNODC recently presented five vehicles, one generator and other equipment, including digital forensic investigation kits, to the Anti-Human Trafficking & Child Protection unit (AHTCPU) of the Kenya Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
Every year, Kenya has thousands of men, women and children fall victim to illicit trafficking groups and smuggling of migrants syndicates, and endure inhuman treatment, sexual exploitation, slave-like working conditions and other abuse, making it crucial to ensure that the anti-trafficking units has the capacity to meet the challenges of Trafficking in Persons (TIP) and Smuggling of Migrants (SOM).
