Trafficking in human beings / Trafficking in human beings / Crime areas. Trafficking in human beings is a multi-billion-dollar form of international organized crime, constituting modern-day slavery.

Trafficking in human beings / Trafficking in human beings / Crime areas

Victims are recruited and trafficked between countries and regions using deception or coercion. They are stripped of their autonomy, freedom of movement and choice, and face various forms of physical and mental abuse. There are three main  types of human trafficking: Trafficking for forced labour; Trafficking for sexual exploitation; Trafficking of organs. Closely connected is the issue of  people smuggling in which smugglers procure, for financial or material gain, the illegal entry of an individual into a country of which he is neither a citizen nor a permanent resident. Trafficking in human beings is a crime under international law and many national and regional legal systems. We have collated a number of  resources covering general information, international legislation, and law enforcement guides and manuals. News. Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women. Strategic Direction GAATW's research and advocacy recognises that trafficking is embedded within gendered migration and labour contexts, and women's complex realities.

Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women

GAATW's diverse membership has stressed that anti-trafficking strategies must respond to local and regional socio-political contexts. As always our work will strive to centre the voices of affected groups and aim to be relevant to the lives of trafficked persons, migrating women workers, sex workers and other marginalised groups.

HRI - IBAHRI calls for radical reform of Kenya’s justice system, in major report released today.

The International Bar Association’s Human Rights Institute (IBAHRI), in conjunction with the International Legal Assistance Consortium (ILAC), today issued a report entitled Restoring integrity: An assessment of the needs of the justice system in the Republic of Kenya.

HRI - IBAHRI calls for radical reform of Kenya’s justice system, in major report released today

The report documents a pressing need for judicial reform. Public confidence in the judicial system has virtually collapsed. A lack of independence in the judiciary, corruption, delays in court processes, and the costs associated with using the court system, have all served to perpetuate a widely held belief among ordinary Kenyans that formal justice is only available to an elite few. The report shows that radical reform of the relationship between Kenya’s executive and judiciary is needed.

‘Kenya’s progress in building a new Constitution is heartening,’ said Juan Mendez, IBAHRI Co-Chair.
