Human trafficking and migrant smuggling are global and widespread crimes that use men, women and children for profit. The organized networks or individuals behind these lucrative crimes take advantage of people who are vulnerable, desperate or simply seeking a better life. UNODC strives for the eradication of these crimes through the dismantling of the criminal enterprises that trade in people and the conviction of the main perpetrators. Ultimately, our work safeguards people from the abuse, neglect, exploitation or even death that is associated with these crimes.
UNODC helps countries develop and implement effective responses to trafficking in persons and smuggling of migrants. This is done through delivering expertise, developing tools based on the analysis of current practice, investing in people and building networks. Despite the unprecedented restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 global pandemic, UNODC continued to expand the knowledge base of trafficking in persons and migrant smuggling and connect with a broader base of experts.
Knowledge Week aims to stimulate a discussion on the most salient issues around human trafficking and migrant smuggling with the support of experts and based on recent UNODC publications and tools. The Knowledge Week will address legal issues, gender-responsive approaches, human rights-based responses, innovative and integrated solutions from an evidence base perspective to these two forms of crime.
Scheduled for the week preceding the Working Groups on Trafficking in Persons and the Smuggling of Migrants, it will be particularly relevant to inform delegates and practitioners prior to the discussions that will take place in these inter-governmental fora.
