Purchasing
Sexual Services in Sweden and the Netherlands
- This report was written by the
Norwegian Ministry of Justice and the police as part of their research on the
question of legal reform in Norway. The report is based upon interviews
in both Sweden and the Netherlands, where prostitution is legalized. It
is instructive and informative for anyone concerned about halting the
trafficking of women into forced prostitution. As you will discover, the
answers are not simple and enactment of a law criminalizing clients or
legalizing prostitution is not a panacea for a much more complex issue -
whether it is prostitution or trafficking. The value of the report, to
everyone who is concerned about the problem of human trafficking is that it
reveals many of the positive and negative consequences of the two approaches
to prostitution from which readers can draw their own conclusions. Full

Thinking
Through, Thinking Beyond - CFLR Report - This document begins with a
special plea to the reader for incisive thinking and criticalreflection on the
issue of trafficking of children and women. The "reader" is assumed
to include the entire gamut of individuals and stakeholders – from
researchers, activists, policy makers, legal experts, law enforcers,
government authorities, donours, NGOs – all such parties who engage, to
whatever degree, in anti-trafficking initiatives. Deviating from the
established norm of objective and dispassionate writing which customarily
characterizes suchlike strategy documents, I deliberately locate myself in
this paper as a consciously engaged insider by including my voice, thus
positioning myself within a rich community of insiders in the anti-trafficking
arena which is genuinely engaged in "solving" the problem of
trafficking in this country. This document is presented in the spirit of an
invitation for collective reflection and stock-taking of the anti-trafficking
strategies and interventions developed and implemented over the past decade or
more in India. It is also a plea to think beyond and outside of the box. Full

NHRC - UNIFEM - ISS Project - A Report on Trafficking of Women and Children in India - 2002-2003 -
In
May 2002, Save the Children initiated a Regional Child Trafficking Response
Programme in Southeast Europe in an attempt to strengthen national and
regional responses to child trafficking and to increase protection for
trafficked children and children-at-risk. Save the Children piloted six
child trafficking interventions in Albania, Croatia, Kosovo, Montenegro,
Romania and Serbia to address the prevention and/or reintegration needs of
these children, and to share the learning and related recommendations from the
pilot projects with practitioners and decision-makers in the region.
This practical handbook outlines practical strategies for developing
rights-based approaches to child trafficking interventions. These strategies
are illustrated through concrete examples as well as through children's words
and images.
‘End
Child Exploitation’ is a UNICEF-UK campaign to raise awareness about child
exploitation. This report examines key factors that make children
vulnerable, alongside some statistics. This report provides a detailed
look at child trafficking in the UK, and it includes cases of children brought
into the UK from Albania, Nigeria and China to work in the sex industry, as
domestic labour and in sweat shops. This report gives an overview of
trafficking patterns in Europe, Africa, South East Asia, South Asia and the
Americas. It concludes with a number of recommended actions to stop
trafficking.
This
is a UNICEF –UNHCR and OSCE document. The extent of trafficking for
labour exploitation in Europe is not well known, but this document provides
some statistics on child trafficking for labour in South East Europe.
This report suggests that young children, both girls and boys, are trafficked
for forced labour particularly from Albania into Greece and Italy. This
document contains anecdotal reports of trafficking in boys for the Western
European male prostitution and pornography market, and trafficking of children
for organ transplants. There is also some information from Moldova that
trafficking of children for illegal adoption is reportedly widespread and
children coming from big families from the countryside and children of parents
who have migrated are offered for adoption.
Until
quite recently the main concern of public opinion has been with trafficking
for the purpose of sexual exploitation only. However there has been a
growing realization that trafficking for labour exploitation in Europe should
move higher up in the policy agenda. In June 2001, the ILO issued
a global report on the contemporary problem of forced labour. As a
follow up, the Governing Body of the ILO decided to create the new Special
Action Programme to Combat Forced Labour. This paper sets out the major
role the ILO has to play against forced labour and child labour in Europe.
Due
to its geopolitical location as a border EU country, in 1998 Finland started
the STOP-project 'Building up a network between the authorities of Russia,
Estonia, Sweden, Germany and Finland for monitoring, analyzing and combating
trafficking in women and children.' This project accepted the definition
of trafficking as the ‘transport of women from third countries into the
European Union (including perhaps subsequent movements between member states)
for the purpose of sexual exploitation.’ The main aims of this project
are to create a network between relevant authorities for cooperation and
exchange of information, to chart trafficking in women and the crime and
social problems related to it, to gather accurate information on trafficking
in women and children for sexual exploitation, and to uncover the quantity of
organized criminal activity involved and to explore possibilities for
protection of victims in concert with NGO’s.
