The initiative will feature a series of programmes, activities and public awareness events targeting different sections of society across the Sultanate, the Oman News Agency ONA reported on Sunday.

The committee said the campaign aims to highlight the risks and consequences of human trafficking and help members of the public recognise its various forms and potential warning signs.

It will also focus on supporting and empowering victims while promoting a stronger culture of prevention and encouraging greater community awareness of the issue.

Running for a full month, the campaign forms part of Oman’s broader efforts to combat human trafficking, strengthen protection for vulnerable people and increase society’s role in recognising and preventing exploitation.
