The UN Trafficking Protocol provides an integrated framework for fighting human trafficking through a 3-pronged strategy of prevention of trafficking, prosecution of traffickers, and protection of victims. The goal of this assignment is to identify examples that are being taken at the local, regional, and/or international level to fight human trafficking, and prepare a brief report.
Assignment: Write a report on a human trafficking initiative of your choice
1. Conduct on-line research to identify one specific initiative to fight human trafficking at the local level. The initiatives can be by non-governmental, governmental, or supranational groups or organizations, and can focus on one or more types of trafficking. HINT:
Select an initiative that engages in different types of actions at different levels, so you can relate them to the various aspects of the UN strategy.
1. Write a report addressing the following points for each of your three specific initiatives:
1. Describe the initiative in your own words.
2. Discuss how your chosen initiative addresses each of the three strategies identified in the UN Trafficking Protocol. Be sure that you provide specific examples and be explicit in making connections in your analysis. If the initiative does not address each of the strategies, report on that .
3. Critique your chosen initiative by outlining its strengths and weaknesses. Again, make sure to incorporate course concepts in your critique as a way of demonstrating your understanding.
