Multi-stakeholder hearing

In this Multi-stakeholder Hearing on the UN Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking, a panel of experts discussed the challenges and opportunities for combating trafficking. Panelists stressed the importance of cooperation between countries and capacity building. They also highlighted the need to address the root causes of human trafficking, including social and economic inequalities and the vulnerability of people.

The Special Rapporteur on Trafficking in Persons, Siobhan Mullally, addressed the hearing, urging countries to ensure effective protection of victims, end impunity, and take action against the crimes. She commended countries that have joined advocacy agendas worldwide, developed victim assistance services, and trained their government officials on the issue.

Root causes of sex trafficking

Sex trafficking is a global problem. Many women and children from developing countries are at a high risk. Often they have no access to basic needs, including education and health care. As a result, they turn to alternative means of earning a living. Some of these methods are not legal.

Poor socioeconomic conditions and a lack of opportunities in a vulnerable society make vulnerable people ideal targets for traffickers. They are often displaced and homeless, with few friends or family. Their lack of opportunities for education, employment, or access to credit makes them vulnerable to recruitment.

Implementation of anti-trafficking laws

The Global Plan of Action requires countries to implement laws to prevent and combat trafficking in persons. This requires sustained political will at all levels, training and funding, and a crackdown on apathy. In addition to implementing anti-trafficking laws, governments must address the misuse of digital technology, which is contributing to the growth of sex trafficking.

Human trafficking is a complex, multifaceted crime and a major violation of human rights. It affects all participating states in the OSCE, and its prevention is of utmost importance. This crime is closely linked to fundamental rights, rule of law, and crime control, and intersects with other pressing issues such as economic deprivation, corruption, and migration.

Financial institutions at the heart of the fight against sex trafficking

To fight human trafficking, financial institutions must work together to reduce their own exposure to criminal activity. They must also help identify irregular financial transactions and share technical expertise to help combat the problem. According to the U.S. State Department, about $32 billion is lost every year to human trafficking. Financial institutions have a duty to report any activity they suspect may be illegal.

The financial sector can play a pivotal role in disrupting human trafficking by working with law enforcement to trace illicit proceeds. Because human traffickers need a steady stream of money, financial institutions can identify and help prevent human trafficking.https://www.youtube.com/embed/yJxGj4AzdxI
