Youth in Border Communities Urged to  Help Fight Child Trafficking-CWG.

The Executive Director of  Citizens Watch Ghana, Simon Asore has urged the youth in the border communities within the  Bono Region to assist in fighting child trafficking within the Dormaa and Sampa borders including Berekum and it's environs. 

The Executive Director, Simon Asore, made the call during a community forum on Awareness Creation and Sensitization on border Security Management in Berekum in the Bono region.

The project dubbed; Enhancing Citizens Participation in Border Security Managementis sponsored by Center for Democratic Development Ghana ( CDD-ghana) with funding from the US Embassy in Ghana.

Mr. Asore said, the location of  Berekum in the region is a fertile ground  for activities suck as child trafficking, drugs and terrorist activities the people in the community should get prepared to face future eventualities since the town is located in the centre of the region. He observed that foreigners from Ivory Coast coming into Ghana from either Dormaa or the Sampa border will pass through Berekum either to stay or to other parts of the country. 

He therefore charged the Citizens especially the youth to play a critical role to fight child trafficking and terrorism which is fast gaining grounds in the West Africa sub region.

The Berekum Municipal Crime officer, DSP Naa-kologo Agbegne urged the public to volunteer in sharing information to enable the police fight crime and protect lives in the Municipality.
