TRAFFICKING OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN FOR SEXUAL EXPLOITATION

Abstract

Irrefutable is the fact that trafficking of women and children is a grave violation of Human Rights and one of the most serious organized crimes of the day, transcending cultures, geography and time. In order to understand the issues from a holistic perspective, it is essential that before embarking on problem-oriented policing and administration, the issues are understood through proper research. In assisting governments and civil society to curb human trafficking, the United Nations supports the famous Three “P’s†of anti human trafficking – prevent, protect and prosecute. This handbook has been born out of necessity and demand. The handbook offers practical insights which can be applied instantly by those responsible for law enforcement.
