As part of the Singapore Inter-Agency Taskforce’s public outreach efforts, the Taskforce is collaborating with SMU students to get them thinking about the Trafficking-In-Persons (TIP) situation in the country and help propose ways to disseminate information on TIP via the different communication channels commonly used by youths. The project aims to help the youths see how they can make a difference and devise communication solutions in the process. Students from the various project teams in SMU will be presenting their proposals to the Taskforce in April, and their project submissions will be counted as part of their curriculum work. “I assumed that Trafficking in Persons involved people who’d come into Singapore illegally, without a permit or passport. I wasn't aware that people who’d come into Singapore via legitimate means might also be victims of TIP being forced here to do certain jobs,” said a member of XSAL, one of the project teams from SMU that will be coming up with public awareness proposals as part of their course curriculum.
