Many actors are involved, in one way or another, in the fight against human trafficking. All of them are important and necessary to effectively combat trafficking: identifying, protecting and rehabilitating victims, prosecuting traffickers, raising awareness, and preventing human trafficking.
|
-
Governments (Justice, Interior, Health, Labor, etc.) at all levels
-
International (UN) and regional (Council of Europe, ASEAN, etc.) organizations
in partnership with each other and with governments and civil society
-
Religious organizations and leaders: local actors active with victims and their families and communities through unique, universal and grassroots networks
-
Private sector: financial institutions, technology companies, digital service providers and consumers
-
Civil Society:
-
Humanitarian organizations engaged in the heart of vulnerabilities without always realizing it
-
Human Rights NGOs: trafficking is a massive denial of fundamental rights: life, dignity, family, health, and work
-
Local communities and diasporas: essential for the prevention of trafficking and the reintegration of victims
-
Ecological movements (“integral ecology”): the trade destroys the natural environment (water, forests) by exploiting human beings and starts from the same approach of unlimited exploitation until exhaustion
-
Universities, research and training institutes: documenting facts and rights and training public opinion and committed and potential actors (lawyers, judges, police officers, border control, social and hospital officials, airline cabin crew, etc.)
-
Opinion formers: media, writers, journalists and film makers: to research, document, mobilize (Films: “Whistleblower”, “Trade“, “Trafficked”, “Invisibles” and “Devenir” by Geneviève Colas – Secours Catholique describing French victims in France)
-
Victims and survivors: listening to them and enabling them to act
so that they can be rehabilitated and reintegrated into society.
