These are two lessons based on Human Rights and Trafficking in Persons: A Handbook. This handbook is intended for NGOs, activists, and persons who come into contact with trafficked persons or who are interested in the issue of trafficking. This is a broad-based manual, containing general strategies that can be further adapted to local contexts. The handbook was developed out of regional human rights training held for Asia and Eastern Europe, Africa and Latin America. The first lesson concentrates on defining trafficking in persons in a human rights framework. The topic of the second lesson is human rights action against trafficking (prevention, prosecution, protection). Includes a useful chart that illustrates the specific rights that are violated in the context of trafficking and for which governments can be held accountable, in their failure to eliminate gender discrimination, failure to punish traffickers and failure to address the needs and rights of trafficked persons who have escaped.
