KINGSTON, Jamaica, Jul 31, CMC – Jamaica is this week,  commemorating  the 20th anniversary of the National Task Force Against Trafficking in Persons (NATFATIP), marking two decades of coordinated, multi-agency efforts to combat human trafficking.

Key among the commemorative events is a week of activities, designed to raise public awareness and reinforce Jamaica’s fight against human trafficking.

The week, being held under the global theme, ‘Human Trafficking is Organised Crime – End the Exploitation’, commenced with a commemorative church  service last Sunday.

The week culminates on Friday, with Freedom Fest at Emancipation Park, a vibrant celebration of resilience and freedom that amplifies Jamaica’s anti-trafficking advocacy.

The Passport, Immigration and Citizenship Agency (PICA) will also release a special feature aligned with the week’s theme.

These activities reinforce Jamaica’s unwavering commitment to ending human trafficking through collaboration, education, and community engagement.
