NAHUSOM-Kenya: Uniting for a Trafficking-Free Nation

The Network Against Human Trafficking and Smuggling of Migrants (NAHUSOM-Kenya) is a national umbrella network bringing together civil society organizations, faith-based institutions, academia, trade unions, the private sector, and grassroots movements. Formed in response to the urgent need for coordinated action against human trafficking and migrant smuggling, NAHUSOM stands as a powerful alliance dedicated to justice, dignity, and human rights.

Kenya remains a source, transit, and destination country for victims of trafficking and smuggling—vulnerabilities that are often exploited by criminal networks. Women, children, and migrant workers are particularly at risk. Recognizing this complex challenge, NAHUSOM-Kenya was established to foster collaboration, share resources, and speak with one voice against modern-day slavery.

At the core of NAHUSOM’s work is the 4P approach: Prevention, Protection, Prosecution, and Partnerships. This holistic model guides the network’s programs and interventions across Kenya. From raising public awareness to training stakeholders, advocating for legal reform, and connecting survivors to support services, NAHUSOM is deeply involved in every layer of the anti-trafficking response.

The organization’s key programs include Advocacy and Policy Engagement, Capacity Building, Network Coordination, and Monitoring and Resource Mobilization. Through public campaigns, legal consultations, technical trainings, and international collaboration, NAHUSOM ensures that both grassroots and institutional voices are heard and integrated into national strategies.

One of NAHUSOM’s greatest strengths lies in its ability to unite diverse actors under a shared mission. By amplifying the voices of non-state actors and facilitating coordinated programming, the network helps strengthen Kenya’s collective capacity to combat exploitation and secure justice for victims. It also aligns its work with global instruments like the Global Compact for Migration and the Transnational Organized Crime Convention, ensuring that national efforts are globally informed.

As the organization continues to grow, NAHUSOM invites more partners—both individuals and institutions—to join the movement. Together, we can build a Kenya where trafficking and smuggling are relics of the past, and where every person can live in safety, freedom, and dignity.
