Invitation to Human Trafficking Awareness event

Human trafficking is a prevalent crime that affects millions of people worldwide, including vulnerable people who are often trafficked through transportation hubs.

On 29 July 2024, the Western Cape Department of Social Development and the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) will run a Trafficking in Persons Awareness campaign in Cape Town. This is ahead of World Day Against Trafficking in Persons on 30 July 2024.
