This time we made panels on the theme: “Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery –Four reasons why we cannot say they are irrelevant to us–“ and a mini voting board where people can put small stickers to show if they already knew the 8 keywords of human trafficking issue in Japan. In the video projecting booth, NFSJ will run a slide show of our activities (made for our 5^th anniversary). *This exhibit is in Japanese.

Have you ever heard about the country of Gambia? Let’s listen to a friend of the NFSJ Staff discuss his homeland Gambia and the immigration situation there.

Our guest speaker, Mr. Louis Mendy, is a Rotary Peace Fellow now studying in the graduate school at ICU. He originally worked as an immigration officer for the country and also has experiences in international border management across African countries.

Mr. Mendy will talk about:

＊General information of his home land (people, his own family, culture,main industry, etc.)

＊The challenges and possible solutions for the problems regarding immigration from the viewpoint of his own experiences (who are the legal immigrants and who are the illegals?)

＊His experience related to Human Trafficking in Gambia

After Mr. Mendy’s talk, we will have an informal discussion about the problems of human trafficking here in Japan and Gambia covering the commonalities and the differences challenging each country.
