The Department of Social Work in collaboration with International Justice Mission (IJM) and the Railway Protection Force (RPF), organised an awareness drive on human trafficking on the 30thof July, 2019 which is observed as world day against trafficking in persons. The drive was conducted in Krantivira Sangolli Rayanna Railway Station, Bengaluru. Ms. Shari Tess Mathew, Assistant Professor, Department of Social Work, St. Joseph’s College was in charge of the awareness drive. The awareness drive included students performing a skit to highlight the issue of human trafficking and how it occurs. Dr. Alan Godfrey, Assistant Professor and PG coordinator, St. Joseph’s College, performed a thematic classical dance to put forward the plight of those who lose their children to human trafficking. Students then formed a human chain around the railway station, chanting slogans against the evil practice of human trafficking. The students were also involved in talking to and informing taxi and auto rickshaw drivers about how human traffickers operate so that they can help identify and report it to the authorities. Several media persons attended the drive and reported the same in their newspapers. One television channel covered the event as well.
