Journalists, reporters, editors and managements representing more than 20 Media Houses, News Articles, FM radio, community radio, Online platforms, and media associations mainly facilitated by the Ethiopian Media Council (EMC) had taken part in the training. The training contents were crafted to enhance the skills, techniques, tactics, strategies, and approaches of investigating modern slavery, trafficking in person, child labor in Ethiopia and setting agenda for policy level change for journalists. Participants demonstrated strong intent to the topics and concepts discussed during the session and showed strong desire to benefit from similar skill building opportunities.
