CARIBBEAN ANTI-TRAFFICKING IN PERSONS SEMINAR TO TAKE PLACE IN SAINT LUCIA
February 25, 2008
The Organization of American States (OAS) will study the complex issues of the problem of crime of trafficking in persons during a two day meeting taking place in Castries, Saint Lucia. The “2008 Caribbean Anti-Trafficking in Persons Awareness Raising Seminar,” will take place on February 27 and 28 in that Caribbean nation.
This two-day event for law-enforcement officials and parliamentarians from the thirteen English speaking OAS member countries of the Caribbean region and Haiti will serve to raise awareness of the crime of trafficking in persons and will highlight the importance of having anti-human trafficking laws in place.
International Organizations, such as Interpol, the United Nations Office for Drugs and Crime (UNODC), the International Organization for Migrations (IOM), the Inter-American Commission of Women (CIM)hyperlink, as well as international and regional nongovernmental organizations, will present at the seminar. On the first day of the seminar, the basic concepts about trafficking, the differences with smuggling, and an overview of trafficking in persons in the region will be presented. Different forms of trafficking will be discussed, including trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation, labor exploitation and servitude. Discussion on the second day will focus on how to prevent trafficking; how to identify possible victims and vulnerable populations; how to provide assistance and protection to victims; and best practices.
Prime Minister of Saint Lucia, Stephenson King, will deliver the feature address at the opening of the seminar on February 27.
