Despite suffering significant challenges from his harsh experience, the young man met all
diploma requirements and conducted an in-depth study titled "Border Control Procedures to
Prevent Human Trafficking Crimes." In his conclusion, he presented five key recommendations
to address this critical issue, underscoring the necessity of a comprehensive training program

for law enforcement and border control officials. This program should encompass human
trafficking indicators, victims' rights, and the procedures for reporting and responding to
trafficking cases.

In his research, he advocated for establishing mechanisms to enhance cooperation and
information sharing among agencies and organizations, including law enforcement, border

control, and non-governmental organizations. He also recommended launching public
awareness and educational campaigns to inform the public about human trafficking indicators,

victims' rights, and reporting procedures.

He underscored the necessity of creating mechanisms to support and protect human trafficking
victims, ensuring their access to medical care, social services, and legal assistance.
Additionally, he stressed the importance of developing and implementing effective border control
measures, including using biometric technology, conducting thorough risk assessments,

profiling, and promoting collaboration among various agencies and organizations.

Knowledge Against Human Trafficking

The young man shared his experience completing his diploma: "I joined the program at my
manager's recommendation, which encouraged me to deepen my understanding of human
trafficking, its indicators, and its components. Although I hadn't previously shared my own harsh
experiences with him, I opened up to my classmates during the course. They were taken aback

by the details I shared and urged me to continue, persevere, and put in the effort."

He remarked, "The diploma offered a valuable opportunity to deepen my understanding of this
inhuman crime and to share that knowledge with my colleagues, particularly as we work in the
private security and guarding sector. This experience empowers us to save lives by recognizing
the signs and indicators that victims of these transnational crimes may exhibit."

He stressed that knowledge and awareness are essential preventive measures that can shield
anyone from falling victim to trafficking gangs.

His Story with the Deceptive Broker

The young man's journey began as a talented football player in his home country, with dreams

of playing in Europe. One day, a man approached him, claiming to be a football agent. He
promised to help the young man become a professional with a club in an African country, where
he would be taken directly to Europe to play.
