The Minister of Labor, Cllr. Charles Gibson, who is also the Chairman of the Anti-Human Trafficking Taskforce, said the IOM, under Dialo, was positively influenced to work as it relates to human trafficking in the budget of government, which helped the construction of additional safe-homes for trafficked victims.
