FSMIS (January 21, 2014): Federate States of Micronesia
President Manny Mori has declared January 22, 2014, to be the National
Anti-Human Trafficking Day in the FSM to strengthen public awareness and
education on Human Trafficking.
The FSM
Department of Justice, with partnership from the International Office of
Migration (IOM) in the FSM, has scheduled several events to take place on the day
to mark its importance. Among these activities will be a discussion and
information sharing session at the IOM Migration Resource Center in Kolonia for
the State Governors and Members of the various Legislative Bodies throughout
the Federation.
A poster
contest among high schoolers and training on anti-human trafficking at the high
schools in the FSM have been on-going with assistance from IOM staff. The
poster contest winner from each State will be recognized in a ceremony that
will take place in the afternoon at the Spanish Wall Park in Kolonia, marking the
collective achievements in anti-human trafficking public education at present.
Additionally,
an exhibition softball game at the Spanish Wall Softball Field will take place
from around 1:30pm to 4:00pm between the Department of Justice, the IOM staff
and a few other challengers.
This is the
first time the FSM has marked a commemoration day for anti-human trafficking
public education through a Declaration by the President.
