@UNAFRI21 How realistic is it to expect the (mostly) unskilled with limited literacy to conduct due diligence and fight for their protections- as a person working in this space we see so many who get into trouble and the agents do not offer help

[Monica @KYAMAZIMA]

@UNAFRI21 Could Legit recruitment tell us about the Visa processes. Do they workers get workers (not tourist or other short term) visas before they leave the country? And what is Kafala and how does it impact this industry ?

[Monica @KYAMAZIMA]

@UNAFRI21 The Parlemo protocol defines TIP as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, haboring or reciept of persons by means of force, coercion, deception abuse of power for the purpose of exploitation which includes sexual exploitation, forced labour, slavery or organ removal

Today we continue the fight to end child labour. 138M children's hands hold work instead of school and 1 in 3 children are denied an education. Child labour isn't a child's failing; it's a system's. On #WorldDayAgainstChildLabour, we go after the roots of exploitation. (@ilo)

The Uganda Martyrs remind us that lasting change often begins with the courage to stand for what is right. Today, we celebrate a legacy of conviction, resilience, and service to others. #EndExploitation #UgandaMartyrsDay

On CSO perspective; reminded who this fight really belongs to
"Governments cannot fight trafficking alone. A survivor-centred, coordinated regional response needs faith communities, researchers and survivors at the table." Emmanuel Wataka, @salvationarmy #EACtipBill @UCATIPUG

[Willow is Everfree Uganda @EverFreeUg]

@UCATIPUG @salvationarmy During the webinar, the EA region affirmed: no woman, child or human being should ever be trafficked. The #EACtipBill is our shared commitment to dignity and justice.
Thank you to every speaker, partner and participant who made it possible. The work continues. #EndTrafficking

[Willow is Everfree Uganda @EverFreeUg]

"Traffickers set up shop wherever the rules are weakest. A harmonised #EACtip law makes every jurisdiction in our region unfavourable for exploitation." Monica Kyamazima, Willow International

May this season be filled with joy, reflection, and moments that remind us of the power of compassion and community. Thank you for continuing to stand for freedom, dignity, and hope with us. #EidMubarak #FreedomAndHope #StrongerTogether

We are looking forward to this process with #EALA and all stakeholders in the region.

[Willow is Everfree Uganda @EverFreeUg]

This week, EALA granted leave to Amb Fatuma Ndagiza to reintroduce the East African Community Counter Trafficking in Persons Bill before the East African Legislative Assembly (#EALA). The Bill aims to curb human trafficking in the region.

[Willow is Everfree Uganda @EverFreeUg]

Digital violence is real, rising, and ruining lives. As we mark #16Days, and in line with the 2025 theme “End Digital Violence Against All Women and Girls,” we’re unpacking how online abuse fuels trafficking in persons—and how we can protect women and girls.

In a humbling moment, Willow International was recognized with an award for our "commitment to advancing freedom and justice." This award is a testament to the resilience of survivors and the dedication of our entire team and partners.

Last Friday, Oct 24th, Willow International had the honor of participating in the physical session of the Uganda-India Bilateral Symposium on Human Trafficking at Four Points by Sheraton. It was a day of profound collaboration and commitment. #EndTrafficking #UgandaIndiaSymposium

Good job @NaomeWandera this is indeed a a big issue

[Naome N.Wandera🇺🇬 @NaomeWandera]

Gender role socialization shapes expectations of self, & social expectations from others regarding child sexual abuse. With partners in Uganda and Zanzibar, we are co-creating and testing solutions against this harmful practice.#KUWAZA #WUBP #safeguarding @HelenaD90 @kyoudina
