Phumelela works to stop human trafficking

The Kingdom of Eswatini is a source and transit destination country for men, women and children subjected to sex trafficking and forced labor. Most victims are from poor communities. Phumelela identified 2 young girls, who were forced to sell their bodies after school. During counselling sessions, they reported being approached by a woman in an unmarked car to join her "business" in South Africa. It turned out the girls were in high risk of being sex trafficked. Together with the Government Social Welfare Department and their guardians, the girls were safely placed in a home for abused girls. There, they will be able to continue school and recover from their traumatic experiences. #stophumantrafficking #stoprape #stopsextrafficking
