Objective
This final seminar in a series of three co-financed by the
European Commission will analyse the scope of the problem of demand for
trafficking in human beings (THB) and how it can be countered with
prevention initiatives on demand reduction. Clamping down on new and
emerging tools being used by traffickers, in particular in the cyber
domain, will be examined.
The work of various EU Member States and
(international) organisations attempting to reduce demand will be looked
at from both a judicial and a law enforcement perspective, as well as
the work done by NGOs in awareness raising. Regulatory and legal
measures to reduce demand, including the criminalisation of the use of
services exacted from victims of trafficking, will be illustrated.
Workshops will form a part of the seminar.
