The information provided by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) shows that in Tanzania 97% of cases of trafficking are internal involving young children; in terms of sex, 74 % of the victims are female. The girls are trafficked from Iringa, Morogoro, Singida, Dodoma and Arusha to Dar es Salaam and to the island of Zanzibar for domestic servitude. Upon entering the cities, trafficked girls fall victim to various vices like prostitution etc.
TAJPI is well positioned to take the lead in addressing this challenge by providing kids' families with training and start-up materials in high-demand trades to reduce their financial vulnerability to traffickers. TAJPI also intended to build awareness to parents and other community members about young child trafficking using print media like posters and leaflets, and will educate parents about safe, legal options that they can consider if they find that they cannot provide for a child.
The desired outcome is to decrease risk of trafficking, and increased resilience to atleast 15, 000 children (0-10 years old) We will not only prevent them from becoming victims of trafficking and exploitation, but our holistic approach works to combat the problem at the root. We will work with the children and their families to rise from poverty and impact their future for the better.
