We therefore reaffirm our desire to fight it in all its forms and on all fronts [...] for the fiscal year 2022-2023, we have allocated to the budget of the Ministry of Social Affairs a budget line with the aim of strengthening the operationalization of the committee. We will maintain this line in our next budget.
[...] My government strongly encourages States to get involved in this fight, it is in our interest to end this inhumane practice [...] We must work together, share information, hold each other accountable and practice mutual legal assistance .
This is the 'sine qua non' condition for dismantling the networks of traffickers in our country and everywhere else, since it is a multifaceted activity that knows no borders."
