In conjunction with World Day Against Trafficking in Persons today (June 30), an Anti-Trafficking Capacity Building for Impact (CBI) programme has been launched to help combat the problem of human trafficking in Malaysia.

Curbing the problem of trafficking in persons involves a whole-of-nation approach and it takes everyone to play their role, says Omna Sreeni-Ong, the project representative from Engender Consultancy, a social enterprise committed towards promoting gender equality and women empowerment.
