The Kenya Police Service has issued a new warning to parents and caregivers about the dangers of child trafficking and Gender-Based Violence (GBV) during the Nairobi International Trade Fair. The Directorate of Gender and Child Protection (DGCP) is leading a public awareness campaign at the trade fair, engaging with families and members of the public.
The DGCP, headed by Assistant Inspector General Dolly Oduori, was formed in September 2025 under the constitution to protect children and vulnerable groups. The police urge parents and guardians to closely monitor children, especially in crowded public spaces, and to report any suspicious activities involving children. The campaign aims to prevent child trafficking, illegal movement, exploitation, and sudden disappearances of children.
The police emphasize the importance of community members reporting any information that could aid in child protection. The DGCP's outreach at the trade fair is part of the Kenya Police Service's community policing and public education efforts.
