Halima Mamman-Daura, and Solomon Dalung, minister of sport, are among the speakers at conference on human trafficking and social/political emancipation of women.

In a statement, FAME Foundation, the non-governmental organisation (NGO) organising the programme, said speakers will deliberate on ways to reduce or completely eradicate human trafficking.

They will as well as discuss the need for women to continue to make meaningful impact in the socio-political and economic emancipation of the country without restrictions.

The event will take place on Saturday at the Cinema Hall, Cyprian Ekwensi Arts and Culture Centre, Abuja.

Julie Okah-Donli, director-general of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP), will also attend.

Aderonke Bello, founder of FAME Foundation, said, “topics for the conference were timely, considering the issues of migration to dangerous parts of the world where women are abused with impunity and little or non-existent human rights.

“There is a compelling need for women to be better coordinated in order to be better appreciated in the society most especially as the 2019 general elections draw near.”
