Security challenges are getting complex with each passing year. The need for comprehensive protection extends beyond physical safety. Skye Global, a leading provider of security services, travel management and diplomatic security in Middle East and Africa, believes that safeguarding the future of communities begins with protecting the children – the most valuable members and the future of society.
African continent is brimming with potential but faces significant challenges in combating human trafficking. According to a report by United Nations, Africa accounts for a disproportionate number of human trafficking victims, with children being the most affected. This reality, being alarming, demands for urgent action and Skye Global being a responsible member of the society, is committed to playing a pivotal role in addressing this crisis.
The Scope Of The Problem
Human trafficking is a multi-billion dollar criminal industry that thrives by exploiting poverty, political instability and lack of education in Africa. Parents are often lured with false promises of employment, education or overall better quality of life for their children. But the reality is completely opposite as these children are forced into labor, sexual exploitation or armed conflicts in Africa as well as other parts of the world. The trauma inflicted on these young souls is immeasurable and the long term impact on communities is devastating.
The issue is compounded by the continent’s vast and porous borders, which makes it easier for the traffickers to traffic human lives undetected. This is where Skye Global expertise in security and management becomes critical for the people of Africa. We leverage our resources, technology and partnerships to disrupt these criminal networks and help local and international law enforcement agencies to protect the future of Africa.
Skye Global Holistic Approach To Child Protection
Prevention
The first line of defense against human trafficking is prevention. We think that the best way to lessen vulnerability is via awareness and education. In order to carry out initiatives that inform families and kids about the risks of human trafficking, Skye Global works with regional administrations, non-governmental organizations and civic leaders. Our goal is to provide communities with the information and resources they need to identify and thwart traffickers’ strategies through workshops, educational initiatives and public awareness campaigns. We also concentrate on tackling the underlying issues that lead to human trafficking, like poverty and opportunity gaps. We contribute to the creation of safer environments where kids can flourish by funding economic development projects and career training programs.
Protection
As a security services provider, Skye Global is at a unique position to enhance protection measures for communities and at-risk children. We work closely with local law enforcements and border security forces to strengthen border patrols and monitor trafficking routes. With intelligence gathering capabilities in local communities, we are able to detect trafficking activities in real time and help local authorities to react. We also provide secure transportation for vulnerable individuals, ensuring their safe return to home, shelters or rehabilitation centers.
Partnership
Tackling human trafficking is a collective effort of security services provider, intelligence and law enforcements. Skye Global fosters partnerships with governments, international organizations and local communities to amplify efforts against human traffickers. We share resources, expertise and best practices to create a united front against this global scourge.
