Victims’ Voices Lead the Way
This year’s theme puts victims of human trafficking at the centre of
the campaign and will highlight the importance of listening to and learning
from survivors of human trafficking. The campaign portrays survivors as key actors in the fight against
human trafficking and focusses on the crucial role they play in establishing
effective measures to prevent this crime, identify and rescue victims and
support them on their road to rehabilitation.
Many
victims of human trafficking have experienced ignorance or misunderstanding in
their attempts to get help.
They have had traumatic post-rescue
experiences during identification interviews and legal proceedings. Some have
faced revictimization and punishment for crimes they were forced to commit by
their traffickers.
Others have been subjected to
stigmatization or received inadequate support.
Learning
from victims’ experiences and turning their suggestions into concrete actions
will lead to a more victim-centred and effective approach in combating human
trafficking.
Global Report on
Trafficking in Persons
The
2020 UNODC Global Report on Trafficking in Persons is the fifth of its kind
mandated by the General Assembly through the 2010 United Nations Global Plan of
Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons. The report draws on data from 148 countries and
explores issues of particular relevance in the current crisis, including the
impact of socio-economic factors, drivers of child trafficking and trafficking
for forced labour, and traffickers’ use of the internet.
