Two hundred and twenty-nine people have completed the free online anti-human trafficking course as at February 7.

The course was launched by the Office of the National Rapporteur in Trafficking in Persons last month.

It aims to strengthen and further educate Jamaicans about the critical issue of human trafficking.

Providing an update to IRIE FM News, National Rapporteur on Trafficking in Persons, Diahann Gordon Harrison says she is encouraged by the number of people participating in the course.

The free course is divided into three modules and aims to build a preventive network and rubric of protection for persons who are vulnerable in the country.

A self-test at the end of each module ensures persons are absorbing the information.

Mrs. Gordon Harrison is urging persons to continue to participate.
