Toolkit to combat trafficking in persons: global programme against trafficking in human beings

With the tide of human trafficking rising rather than falling, the need for effective prevention policies is unquestionable. This toolkit updates and expands upon the UNODC toolkit of the same name published in 2006. It is intended to provide guidance, showcase promising practice and recommend resources to help facilitate the sharing of knowledge and information among policymakers, law enforcers, judges, prosecutors, victim service providers and members of civil society who are working at different levels towards combating human trafficking.

Thematic areas addressed include:

• International legal framework
• Problem assessment and strategy development
• Legislative framework
• International criminal justice cooperation
• Law enforcement and prosecution
• Victim identification
• Immigration status of victims and their return and reintegration
• Victim assistance
• Prevention of trafficking in persons
• Monitoring and evaluation

A list of the tools offered in respect of each theme is provided at the beginning of each chapter.
