The Justice and Peace Service, Archdiocese of Bamenda, recently commemorated the World Day Against Trafficking in Persons(TIP) 2025 with a powerful event that brought together stakeholders to raise awareness and promote action against human trafficking.
The Power of Art in Raising Awareness
The event, #PaintingAgainstTIP, engaged 20 stakeholders, including survivors, NGOs, legal experts, communicators, and educators, in a painting activity. This creative approach allowed participants to express themselves, share their stories, and foster empathy, highlighting the importance of art in promoting social change and healing.
A Platform for Storytelling and Awareness
Through this event, the Justice and Peace Commission aimed to promote storytelling, raise awareness about human trafficking’s causes and risks, and work towards a world free from exploitation. The painting activity provided a unique opportunity for participants to explore the issue and share their perspectives, encouraging action against human trafficking.
