OAS to Train Law Enforcement Officials, Judges, and Prosecutors in Barbados to Identify and Combat Trafficking in Persons
September 24, 2010
Trafficking in persons (TiP) is a modern-day form of slavery and a violation of basic human rights involving not only coercive sexual exploitation but also forced labor, involuntary servitude and child soldiers, among others. The Department of Public Security (DPS) of the Organization of American States (OAS), with funding from the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), is implementing a program aimed at training police and immigration officials as well as prosecutors and judges from 13 English-speaking Caribbean countries, in order to increase awareness, develop institutional capacities and support the efforts of law enforcement agencies in combating human trafficking. The seventh training program will take place in Bridgetown, Barbados, on September 28 to 29, 2010.
The session’s main objectives are to further awareness of the crime of trafficking among law enforcement officials; strengthen the role of police, prosecutors’ offices and courts in their capacity to implement laws to combat trafficking; increase the exchange of information among agencies involved in combating human trafficking in the Caribbean region and strengthen the capacity of law enforcement officers to protect victims.
“Strengthening the Capacity of Law Enforcement Officials, Judges, and Prosecutors in the Caribbean to Identify and Combat Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children,” led by OAS anti-trafficking experts, will train law enforcement personnel in such areas as the distinction between trafficking and smuggling; crime scene management; victim identification, assistance and protection; standard operating procedures for immigration control; understanding gender perspective as part of the human rights framework; and how trafficking in persons affects men, women, boys and girls in different ways.
The Department of Public Security expects to train at least 50 Barbadian police officials, prosecutors and judges in this two-day training course.
