Introduction -- Background: Trafficking in Countries of the Commonwealth: An Overview -- Toward a Gender-Responsive, Rights-Based Perspective on Trafficking -- Prevention Strategies -- Assistance to Victims of Trafficking -- Research and Database -- Treatment of Child Victims -- Conclusion -- Bibliography and Annex.
Trafficking of people (mostly women and children) for commercial sexual activities and forced labour is one of the fastest growing areas of international criminal activity – and one that is of huge concern. Trafficking in humans is now considered the third largest source of organised crime after drugs and arms. The Commonwealth Law Ministers at the 1999 meeting in Trinidad and Tobago concluded that the Commonwealth Secretariat should propose strategies to assist countries in developing national and regional initiatives against human trafficking. This title is the result of these proposals.
