هدفت هذه الدراسة إلى تقديم تصور مقترح للحد من عمالة الأطفال في فلسطين وفقاً لبعض التجارب العربية، والتعرف على الهيئات المسؤولة عن تنفيذ التصور وآلية التنفيذ، وتم استخدام طريقة تحليل المضمون والطريقة المقارنة لعدد من الدراسات التي تمثل التجارب العربية في الحد من عمالة الاطفال وبلغت (22) دراسة أو تجربة، وتوصلت الدراسة الى النتائج الآتية: (أ) الهيئات التشريعية والتنفيذية والشريكة هي المسؤولة عن الحد من ظاهرة عمالة الأطفال؛ (ب) وزارة العمل، وزارة التربية والتعليم ووزارة التنمية الاجتماعية هي الهيئات التنفيذية للتصور المقترح؛ (ج) مؤسسات المجتمع المدني تمثل الهيئات الشريكة في التصور. This study aimed to present a proposed perception to reduce child labor in Palestine according to some Arab experiences, and to identify the bodies responsible for implementing the perception and the implementation mechanism. The content analysis method and the comparative method was used for a number of studies that represent Arab experiences in reducing child labor. A total of (22) studies or experiments were reported, and this study reached the following results: (a) the legislative, executive and partner bodies are responsible for curbing the phenomenon of child labor; (b) the ministry of labor, the ministry of education and the ministry of social development are the executive bodies of the proposed scenario; (c) civil society institutions represent partner bodies in the visualization.

Abstract Human trafficking is a worldwide phenomenon organized by national and international gangs and generating important financial resources. Refugees and migrants constitute the main victims of such organized crimes. At national level, human trafficking is facilitated by poverty, social exclusion and all forms of vulnerability. School dropout at young age is among determinants of Child labor, organized begging, drug trafficking and involvement in criminal gangs. Economic and political migrants are easy targets to national and international traffickers. The 2018 report shows that documented cases have increased from 28 in 2015 to 780 in 2018. Women and children represent the high majority respectively 75 % and 50 %. Criminal activities include forced employment (55 %), economic exploitation of children (33 %), sexual exploitation (10 %) and slavery like practice (2 %). Victims of human trafficking are from Tunisia (55 %), Ivory coast (40 %) and Caucasian countries (5 %). The reported cases are provided social and health services by government and national and international civil society organizations active in Tunisia. Victims suffer stigmatization particularly for HIV carriers and also depression and psychological disorders. Civil society organizations in addition to service delivery, facilitate case notifications and encourage victims for self-reporting which remains low (10 %). The objectives of the paper are to: Shed light on human trafficking in Tunisia particularly among refugees and migrantsAddress ways and means of preventing such criminal phenomenonInclude care of victims of human trafficking in the social and health package for refugees and migrants.

Multistakeholder Initiatives

Industry actors understandably develop strategies of influence directed at government bodies, academic institutions, and civil society organizations. These entities have a responsibility to develop counter-strategies to insulate themselves from industry influence. They also need a plan to wean themselves off industry funding. If governments wish to exert leverage over corporations, they need distance rather than proximity. And if they are serious about trying to solve our most challenging public health problems, they must be willing to explore all potential solutions, including those inimical to the commercial interests of industry. We need a new paradigm in public health—one that avoids the ethical perils of public-private partnerships and multistakeholder initiatives. But, before we can develop an alternative paradigm, we must first acknowledge the ways in which status quo is ethically problematic.
