Summary
Home Affairs Minister Oneidge Walrond is rallying Guyana to rethink how it combats human trafficking, warning that criminals constantly evolve their tactics—and so must our response. On World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, she highlighted recent efforts: awareness campaigns in 50+ communities, frontline training for law enforcement, and interviews with 200+ people that led to charges against two foreigners. Yet she stressed the work is far from over. Traffickers exploit economic hardship, migration, and tech—demanding smarter, more adaptive, intelligence-driven action. Fighting trafficking isn’t just government’s job—it’s a collective mission requiring partnerships across law enforcement, businesses, faith groups, and every citizen. Most victims are foreign nationals, often exploited by locals or other foreigners, as seen in a recent case involving two Cubans. The Minister urges vulnerable groups to be cautious about job offers amid Guyana’s economic growth. Looking ahead, the government plans to boost investigations, labor inspections, victim support, and migration safety—with Guyana maintaining its Tier One ranking for nine years—but warns this achievement must be sustained through relentless vigilance and collaboration.
