MANILA, Philippines - The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) expressed its support for the Blue Heart Campaign, an international awareness-raising initiative against human trafficking and its impact on society.
 
DFA Undersecretary for Migrant Workers Affairs Jesus Yabes met with United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) Representative for Mexico Antonio Mazzitelli last Monday. The two officials discussed the upcoming DFA Regional Workshop on Anti-Trafficking in Persons for Philippine Foreign Service Posts in the Americas.
 
"The Philippines recognizes the need for concerted regional and international efforts in order to put an end to human trafficking. Our support for the Blue Heart Campaign is only one of the ways by which we demonstrate our steadfast commitment to upholding human dignity and human rights," said Yabes.
 
UNODC launched the Blue Heart Campaign in 2009 to encourage involvement and inspire action to stop human trafficking.
