ConPAHT–Talitha Kum Ghana has successfully supported the reintegration of six survivors of human trafficking and two babies, marking another significant milestone in the fight against exploitation and modern slavery. The reintegration process began on Wednesday, 10th December 2025, following the rescue of the young women—all Nigerian nationals—who had been deceived into travelling to Ghana with promises of well‑paid jobs. Some family members, unaware of the traffickers’ intentions, had unknowingly contributed to their recruitment.
The survivors had endured varying periods of exploitation, ranging from two weeks to three years. They were rescued through a coordinated effort between ConPAHT–Talitha Kum Ghana and the Anti‑Trafficking Unit of the Ghana Police Service. Each young woman had been trafficked separately, only to be forced into prostitution upon arrival in Ghana. During interviews, all six confirmed that at no point were they informed that they would be coerced into such activities.
Aged between seventeen and twenty‑eight, the survivors were rescued from different parts of the country. Reintegration efforts began with establishing contact with their parents and caregivers to ensure a safe and supportive return home. Before their departure, the survivors received counselling and psychosocial support from ConPAHT–Talitha Kum Ghana’s professional team, including Sr. Olivia Umoh, DC (National Coordinator), Ms. Eugenia Akoto Mensah (Programs Manager), and Ms. Rosina Serwaa Aborkpui (Social Worker).
The young women arrived safely in Nigeria on Thursday, where they were warmly welcomed by their families. One of the survivors, a nursing mother, was referred to the Bakhita Rehabilitation Centre in Lagos, managed by the Sisters of St. Louis, to ensure she receives continued care and support.
Sr. Olivia Umoh, DC, encouraged the survivors to remain vigilant against fraudulent job offers and to serve as ambassadors for anti‑trafficking awareness in their communities. Their families expressed profound gratitude to ConPAHT–Talitha Kum Ghana for the intervention, support, and compassion that made their safe return possible.
