Saint Vincent and the Grenadines will join the global community in observing World Day against Trafficking in Persons on July 30th, 2018, under the theme “NOT FOR SALE”.

In light of this, the Anti-Trafficking in Persons Unit, attached to the Royal Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force, will be embarking on a sensitization drive during their upcoming summer program.
