Miss ACTA 25 launches Project
– Project Launch
Child trafficking remains one of Ghana’s most urgent human rights crises — especially in coastal communities and in the northern regions, where many children are forced into labour and denied their education, freedom, and childhood.
This is not just a statistic.
These are dreams interrupted.
These are futures stolen.
My name is Akpene Akoto, reigning Queen of Miss ACTA — Miss Anti-Child Trafficking Activist, organized by The New Blaq Empire.
And I believe advocacy must be felt — not just heard.
That is why I created .
A project that uses the power of art, social media, and performance to tell stories that are emotional, symbolic, and unforgettable.
Through a nationwide digital campaign, and a creative and performing arts competition across three regions in Ghana — the Greater Accra Region, the Volta Region, and the Savannah Region — we are empowering young people to speak up, reflect deeply, and become advocates for child protection.
Because when young people find their voice, they don’t just speak —
they spark change.
And this vision is strengthened through meaningful partnerships.
National Investment Bank PLC is a proud partner in the fight against child trafficking in Ghana. In partnership with The New Blaq Empire and Miss ACTA 25, the Bank is helping to raise awareness and promote child protection. This collaboration focuses on advocacy, education, and community engagement to safeguard vulnerable children, while also encouraging youth leadership and community empowerment to prevent exploitation.
Together, we are working toward a Ghana where every child is safe, protected, and given the opportunity to thrive.
We are also proud to have the support of the National Petroleum Authority, whose commitment to child protection and community development reflects strong dedication to social responsibility and national growth. Their involvement strengthens the collective effort to raise awareness and fight against child trafficking in Ghana.
is more than a campaign.
It is a declaration.
A declaration that no child is a commodity.
No childhood has a price.
And no
