Training is an important part of building capacities in the fight against human trafficking, Labour Market Regulatory Authority (LMRA) chief executive and National Committee for Combating Trafficking in Persons chairman Nibras Talib has said.
He was speaking at a ceremony to honour participants in the latest batch of ‘Training of Trainers Programme to Combat Trafficking in Persons’.
The ceremony was organised by the LMRA’s Regional Centre of Excellence and Capacity Building for Combating Trafficking in Persons, in co-operation with the International Organisation for Migration (IOM).
Fifteen trainees from various sectors and government agencies took part in the programme, including the media sector, the medical sector, as well as employees of ports and Public Security, and the inspection and criminal justice sectors.
Mr Talib stressed the importance of building capacities in the field of combating trafficking in persons, specifically of frontliners in areas of identification and detecting victims and potential victims.
The LMRA works through the centre to upgrade skills and capabilities in various sectors to provide a solid pool of qualified certified trainers.
The centre is deemed as a house of expertise and training in the field of combating trafficking in persons in the region, through an appropriate intervention method, as well as building the capacities of target groups from different fields of frontline workers in areas of identification of potential victims, he said.
