Major Factors

Extreme poverty, illiteracy, unemployment, poor law enforcement, and open border between India and Nepal are major factors for human trafficking. Due to the devastating earthquake that hit Nepal on April 25, 2015, which was followed by more than 400 aftershocks, about 3 million people were victimized. The earthquake victims- women and children, were more vulnerable to trafficking than before. Hence, it is vital to understand human trafficking, its form, factors, effects, and motives. The objective of this paper is to make intellectuals aware of the issue of sex trafficking, problems, and possible solutions in Nepal.Research Nepal Journal of Development Studies Vol.1(1) 2018 28-31

Migration Law

Our understanding of human trafficking has changed significantly since 2000, when the international community adopted the first modern antitrafficking treaty—the UN Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children (Trafficking Protocol). Policy attention has expanded beyond a near-exclusive focus on sex trafficking to bring long-overdue attention to nonsexual labor trafficking. That attention has helped surface how the lack of international laws and institutions pertaining to labor migration can enable—if not encourage—the exploitation of migrant workers. Many migrant workers throughout the world labor under conditions that do not qualify as trafficking yet suffer significant rights violations for which access to protection and redress is limited. Failing to attend to these “lesser” abuses creates and sustains vulnerability to trafficking.

The positioning of Southeast Asia (comprising Brunei, Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar or Burma, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam) as an anti-trafficking hub belies the global relevance of regional patterns. The configurations of anti-trafficking vary across countries; however, the specific trends and patterns hold relevance to the region as a whole. For instance, the research on anti-trafficking in Thailand examines the co-constitutive interactions between the illegibility of human trafficking and the growth of the anti-trafficking industry, particularly in relation to market-based interventions. Critical research on Vietnam offers an instructive analysis of the fusion between humanitarianism and punishment that characterizes “rehabilitation” efforts in anti-trafficking. Research on Singapore and Indonesia considers the function of co-constitutive interactions between the hyper-visibility of sex trafficking and the relative invisibility of labor trafficking. In Indonesia—as a country of origin, transit, and destination—the fractured contours of anti-trafficking responses have produced unexpected or unpredictable interactions, marked by competing understandings of what trafficking is and the accountability of differing governmental bodies. Recent research on the Philippines illustrates the use of gendered surveillance in barring the departure of Filipino nationals as a means of “preventing” human trafficking. These patterns demonstrate the uneasy fusions and alliances among humanitarianism, market economies, law enforcement, and border control that mark responses to human trafficking in Southeast Asia.

<p>Peru has been found to be a country of destination, origin, and transit of men, women, and children subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking. Peruvian news highlights growing trends in labor and sex trafficking, but it is widely recognized that there is a paucity of rigorous data on the subject.</p><p>This study interviewed stakeholders involved in prevention, intervention, and support of victims of human trafficking in Peru. The research team surveyed thirty human trafficking organizations throughout Peru. Questions included where victims come from, gender, age, how they are trafficked, who trafficks them, where they are trafficked to, how traffickers maintain control, whether they were trafficked for the purposes of sex or labor, duration of trafficking, and how they were able to exit their exploitation. Additionally, each organization was asked from their vantage point, what they would do to end human trafficking in Peru.</p><p>The findings from this research add substantially to the knowledge of the clandestine world of human trafficking. This research is one of the first studies in Peru that gives insight into both the extent of the problem of human trafficking and real solutions of how it can be combatted.</p>

Human trafficking is one of activities that constitute serious violence against human rights, particularly the rights of women and children trafficked. In fact, trafficking has become a universal phenomenon and is considered the enemy of all countries in the world. In Indonesia, women and children are trafficked from one country to another and within the country itself. They are trafficked for domestic work, waiters, entertainers, booked brides, beggars or prostitution. Law enforcement in both national and international levels has been conducted. The laws, nevertheless, cannot effectively overcome the problem of trafficking in women and children

Modern Day Slavery

Human trafficking (HT), also known as modern-day slavery, has received significant emphasis during the last decade. Globalization and transnational migration trends continue to amplify economic disparities and increase the vulnerability of oppressed populations to HT. The three major types of HT are labor trafficking, sex trafficking, and war slavery. Victims of HT are exploited for their labor or services and are typically forced to work in inhumane conditions. The majority of these victims are from marginalized populations throughout the world. Although both men and women are victims of HT, women and children are heavily targeted. Interdisciplinary and multi-level approaches are necessary to effectively combat HT. Combating HT is particularly relevant to the profession of social work with its mission of social justice. To address the needs of the most vulnerable of society, implications for social workers are discussed.

In May 2006 the South African Law Reform Commission released a discussion paper and draft legislation on human trafficking for public comment by the end of June this year. In order to successfully identify, investigate and prosecute cases of trafficking, law enforcement agencies need a clear understanding of what constitutes trafficking. But human trafficking is a slippery concept – frequently confused with human smuggling or used as a blanket term for the sexual exploitation of women and children. In evaluating national and international research on the issue, this article finds that understanding the extent and nature of the problem is complicated, not only by contending definitions, but also by the lack of representative data about trafficking nationally and internationally.

Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis efektivitas penegakan hukum terhadap praktik perdagangan anak perempuan di Polrestabes Makassar, dan untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis faktor-faktor yang menjadi penghambat tidak efektifnya penegakan hukum terhadap praktik perdagangan anak perempuan di Polrestabes Makassar. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Polrestabes  Makassar khususnya Unit Perlindungan Perempuan dan Anak. Tipe penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah tipe normatif. Teknik pengumpulan data berupa teknik penelitian lapangan yaitu dengan cara melakukan wawancara dengan Kanit PPA Polrestabes Makassar, Penyidik dan Ketua Lembaga Swadaya Masyarakat Solidaritas Perempuan Anging Mammiri, dan penelitian pustaka yaitu data diperoleh dari bahan bacaan seperti buku, jurnal dan literatur lain yang berkaitan dengan penelitian. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penegakan hukum pada PPA Polrestabes Makassar tidak efektif, karena sanksi yang sangat ringan karena PPA Polrestabes Makassar sering keliru dalam menentukan pasal pada pelaku, sehingga pelaku bebas dari Undang-Undang Nomor 21 tahun 2007 tentang Pemberantasan Tidak Pidana Perdagangan Orang. Selain itu perilaku pelaku ingin melakukan suap terhadap aparat penegak hukum. Adapun faktor tidak efektifnya penegakan hukum adalah faktor sumber daya manusia yaitu kurangnya personil, faktor masyarakat karena kurangnya pengetahuan sehingga takut melakukan laporan, serta faktor sarana yaitu kurangnya anggaran. The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze the effectiveness of law enforcement on the practice of girl trafficking at the Metropolitan Police Station (Polrestabes) Makassar, and to identify and analyze the factors that hinder the ineffectiveness of law enforcement on the practice of girl trafficking at Polrestabes Makassar. This research was conducted at Polrestabes Makassar, especially the Women and Children Protection Unit. The type of research used in this study is the normative type. The data collection technique is by studying several literatures, books, articles and lecture materials obtained. The form of the interview is a data collection technique by conducting interviews with the Head of PPA Polrestabes Makassar, investigators and the Chair of the Women's Solidarity Institute, Anging Mammiri and asking for data. The results of this study indicate that law enforcement at the PPA Polrestabes Makassar has not been effective, because in 2018-2019 sanctions were not implemented by law enforcers, and law enforcers often made mistakes in imposing articles so that perpetrators were free from Law Number 21 of 2007 concerning the Eradication of Human Trafficking Criminal Acts. Besides, the perpetrators often want to bribe. The factors for the ineffectiveness of law enforcement are the human resource factor, namely the lack of personnel, the community factor due to lack of knowledge so they are afraid to report, and the facility factor is the lack of budget.

Since the late 1990s South African media have drawn attention to the problem of human trafficking and called for state intervention to stop the practice. Reports by several non-governmental organisations have referred to the growing plague of human trafficking, particularly that of women and children for purposes of sexual exploitation. A recent, in-depth study of the sex work industry in Cape Town by the ISS and SWEAT calls into question allegations that there is large-scale trafficking into the sex work industry and suggests that a law enforcement approach may not be the most appropriate way to counter the problem.
