It is easy to assume that humans are safe from slavery after decades of abolition. However, it has slipped underground where unsuspecting and weak persons are now being trafficked without their knowledge or consent. Individuals have a role to play to counter human trafficking at the basic level and result in eventual abolition of the vice.
Insist on production of genuine papers by immigrants and anyone you will be engaging. A lot of these trafficked persons lack identification documents. They will offer excuses for lack of documents or because of intimidation. Once you insist, the opportunities will close. Report cases of people without identification documents to enable law enforcers to take necessary restoration actions.
Pile pressure on corporate bodies to take a stand and put in place measures to curb this problem within their systems. A public declaration sends shock waves in the industry and stops activities that could be taking place underground. People working for such an organization are also enjoined in the campaign. The organizations push their associates, clients and suppliers to also adapt similar stands. This closes down opportunities for traffickers.
Offer support in form of opportunities to freed victims. Integration into the society and living a normal life is a huge challenge for these victims. They are looking for employment for sustenance because of their experiences. They cannot compete effectively with other employees for positions. Set aside slots that will help them enjoy the advantage. By empowering the financially, they have the courage and confidence to speak out and also participate in campaigns to correct the situation.
Sensitization campaigns should be run at local level to raise awareness. The aim of these activities should be to sensitize the community on their role in ending the problem. There are local organizations and religious groups working towards the same end. Join them or involve them to make the message louder. They need to know how to address any issue that arises, especially how to spot victims and help them.
Play your professional role to provide assistance. There are services that trafficking victims will always require. They include health care, legal representation, highlight in the media and legal enforcement, among others. Watch for victims seeking your services and assist them to get help from authorities. Be lenient to these victims and enable them to find justice.
Do not condone the vice at personal level. If you are an employer, demand that all your employees are legitimate citizens. Do not participate in activities that would support or lead to the growth of human trafficking. In case you come across people who have been trafficked, it is time to report the cases to authorities so that action can be taken. People within your network will know that such wickedness does not have any place in your life.

Individual efforts will contribute to the end of the problem or its reduction. Victims also need help and support to hasten their recovery.
