The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) reaffirmed its commitment to fighting crimes against children during the opening of the Fourth INTERPOL Victim Identification Taskforce (VIDTF) Africa at the DCI Headquarters.
This five-day exercise, which brought together investigators from 21 African member countries across the continent, was officially opened by Ms. Rosemary Kuraru, Director of Personnel, on behalf of Mr. Mohamed I. Amin, the Director of DCI.
In his remarks, the Director DCI expressed gratitude to the INTERPOL General Secretariat and the Crimes Against Children Desk. He appreciated their efforts in helping to facilitate this important gathering and for trusting Kenya to host such a vital regional initiative.
"Child sexual exploitation and abuse remain among the most serious threats to children globally. This issue transcends borders and needs a coordinated international response," he stated.
Over the next five days, investigators from different INTERPOL member countries will work together to improve victim identification efforts; they will strengthen ongoing investigations and enhance cross-border cooperation to rescue vulnerable children and ensure that offenders face justice.
The Director DCI further emphasised that the sensitive nature of this work requires high standards of professionalism, resilience, and a strong commitment to prioritising the welfare of children.
"The task ahead requires not only professionalism and resilience but also a steady dedication to keeping children at the centre of our efforts. Behind every case file is a life deeply affected by exploitation," he noted.
Reaffirming Kenya's strong commitment to international cooperation, the Director DCI highlighted the DCI's determination to collaborate closely with INTERPOL and other partners to dismantle child exploitation networks.
"Kenya is dedicated to working with INTERPOL, National Central Bureaus, and all our regional and international allies to ensure that those who commit these horrible crimes find no safe haven," he affirmed.
The Fourth VIDTF Africa emphasises the critical importance of international collaboration in protecting children, identifying victims, supporting investigations, and strengthening the global fight against child sexual exploitation and abuse.
