NASSAU, Bahamas, CMC – The Bahamas government says it remains committed to the prevention of human trafficking, describing it as one of the fastest growing criminal industries in the country. National Security Minister Bernard J. Nottage addressing the launch of the International Organisation for Migration (IOM) Technical Skills Training in Human Trafficking said “human trafficking was an obscure activity with little known and little being understood, that was silently festering within our country. “We know that the geography of our islands and our porous borders render The Bahamas ideally suited as a transit point for illicit trafficking activities from the South destined for the North; and trafficking in persons is no exception,” he said.
