Kenya Airways staff have been instrumental in identifying human trafficking victims, according to the UN Migration Agency (IOM). A training program for airline employees has led to the identification of 100 victims over the past year.
Sharif Faisal, Head of Programmes and Policy Development at IOM Kenya, stated that the initiative will be extended to include staff from other airlines. Kenya’s position as a regional travel hub increases its vulnerability to trafficking, prompting interest from other carriers in receiving similar training.
IOM Kenya is collaborating with the Ministry of Labour to encourage the adoption of the IRIS ethical recruitment initiative. This program aims to address and reduce the prevalence of unscrupulous recruitment practices within the country.
