My Expectations of the Festival-Voice from Lesotho


Women trafficking has taken its course recently around the world. In our country, Lesotho, we usually conduct research on the extent and impact of human trafficking. At this festival I am expecting to learn more about human trafficking. I believe it’s high time we research more and find possible ways to prevent and overcome this problem. Hopefully, this festival will help us improve strategies to overcome this problem.

Some women do not know their rights even now. We host radio and television programmes to inform the public about legal issues that affect them. Again, we provide information to the public through legal documents, public gathering and training workshops, but these does not seem to be enough. I hope that after the festival I will be equipped with new strategies to deal with these issues.

We provide training to the community in the form of disseminating  information and we train different people and organizations on different aspects of the law. In this regard I am expecting to gain more knowledge on the new ways to pass it on to more people.

Again, my expectations are very high. I  hope to gain more knowledge on how to reach to the rural people, because some of them do not even have radios and televisions. I am hoping to gain improved strategies in lobbying that we can use to communicate with people in the rural areas. Sometimes they believe the message is not meant for them because they are not educated.
