phenomenon. Also, for there to be an understanding of how we can be involved in international, national and local anti-trafficking effort” Felicia told Alternativeafrika.com
Felicia said the event scheduled for The Calder Bookshop & Theatre, Southbank, London on Friday 18th of May, would broadly addressed pertinent issues how to identified when human trafficking is been camouflaged as genuine migration, forms of human trafficking and which are the most prevalent within the African continent and why?

Instead of being individuals content with merely being passionate about certain issues, we desired to create environments where people could be educated, equipped and galvanised to be a catalyst
for the change they desire”
