Report on Human Trafficking: Scoil Phobail Bhéara

2:20 pm

Ms Elaine O'Sullivan:

At first, they were not aware of it and so did not even know what human trafficking was about. Our school covered this issue two years ago, but only in respect of child trafficking and not general human trafficking. We were able to make them more aware. While they were not really interested as such, we came up with all the ideas and tried to make them interested and one will now find they definitely are interested. As to the atmosphere, were members to visit our school, they would see posters everywhere. They now know what human trafficking is, which was our aim.
