Speaking to journalists in Ho during a media engagement workshop organized by the International Justice Mission (IJM) Ghana as part of efforts to strengthen Ghana’s justice system for journalists in Volta and Oti Regions, she emphasized the need for collaboration in combating human trafficking in the country.

The workshop focused on improving the country’s response to crimes such as human trafficking, child exploitation, and other related offences.
ACP Wilson emphasized that responsible and ethical journalism is critical in the fight against human trafficking.

According to her, collaboration between the media and security agencies helps ensure accurate reporting, protects the dignity and safety of victims, and prevents interference with ongoing investigations.
She encouraged journalists to adopt trauma- informed approaches, when covering such sensitive cases, noting that survivors of trafficking often carry deep emotional and psychological scars that require careful and respectful storyline.

Madam Rebecca Ekpe, Vice President of the Ghana Journalists Association, also called on journalists to go beyond political reporting and tackle social related issues that affect the core of society and citizens lives.

She pledged her support for the Association to take the welfare of its members into consideration, where journalists would have a free mind in delivering their duties.
The International Justice Mission reiterated its commitment to working with state institutions, the media, and civil society to promote justice, protect vulnerable persons, and strengthen Ghana’s legal response to human trafficking and exploitation.
