The Center for Community Journalism and Development is pleased to participate in today’s Training on Basic Online Publishing by Newsbreak. We hope to use this skill in sharing information to community journalists, and helping the public understand human trafficking and act against it.
A media colleague recently shared with us her family’s own fight against human trafficking. Lyn Ramo, editor of the Baguio-based Northern Dispatch recently recounted to us how she and other kin successfully saved their 16-year-old niece from traffickers. The teenager and two other young girls were promised jobs as domestic helpers in Manila. But it was only later they found out the real intentions of their supposed recruiters.
Sad to say, as this incident has shown, even one’s family members could be unwitting instruments to human trafficking. Many parents urge their sons and daughters to find work outside their barrios, not knowing that the predators are out there.
