On July 25 and 26, 2018, the National Task Force Against Trafficking in
Persons (NATFATIP) hosted the first forum of its kind in
the Caribbean – “The Hard Road to Recovery: From Victim to Survivor”.
The inaugural international conference was held at the Melia Braco
Village Hotel in Trelawny, Jamaica. The main objectives of the conference were to: increase public awareness to discourage these activities and to warn those who are unaware; train officials throughout the public and private sectors on identifying victims of trafficking; and build capacities through legislation and institutional strengthening.
The opening ceremony included the sashing of the island’s first-ever
Human Trafficking Ambassadors, Miss Jamaica World 2017, Solange
Sinclair, and Founder of The Sun Gate Foundation and human trafficking
survivor, Shamere McKenzie, who also delivered the keynote address.
