    "content": "I also thank Dr. Laboso for mentioning the need for further research. That is true and at the point that we were undertaking the research, there was absolutely no prior research on trafficking in persons in Kenya. One of the things that we noted, based on that research, was in terms of awareness on the issue of trafficking, people tended to treat it more as a moral issue and not a legal issue. Due to that, many victims are trafficked in the glare of security forces without knowing something wrong is being done. One of the things that was very clear to us is that many facilitators were persons who were very young; between 31 to 40 years. They were followed by those who were 41 to 50 years. Then, the people who harbour victims who are trafficked are 41 to 50 years followed by the age category 31 to 40 years. Most of the persons who harbour victims of trafficking are Kenyans. We also had persons who are Ethiopians, Ugandans, Americans, Tanzanians and Sudanese. There were also other African nationals. The exploiters were males aged 41 to 50 years; closely followed again in the age category of 31 to 40 years. They used several methods of recruitment in discos and churches amongst many other places; even shopping centres. I wish to present this report that we called “Grand Illusions; Shattered Dreams; Report on the Status of Human Trafficking in Kenya” which I did when I was in the Cradle - the Children Foundation."
