Dear friends and colleagues

We have again updated the digital library
*_http://www.childtrafficking.com_*  - supported by many activists
around the globe. All forms of trafficking are addressed, including
trafficking for labor purposes. The website focuses on children, and
includes the latest information on strategies for trafficking
prevention, as well as for the rehabilitation and reintegration of
victims of trafficking. The digital library
*_http://www.childtrafficking.com_*  focuses on the outcomes of
trafficking, such as the use of forced labor or slavery like practices,
no matter how people arrive in these conditions.

The update includes ten new documents dealing with *_trafficking_.*

International Organization for Migration (IOM). (2008). *Trafficking of
men - a trend less considered: The case of Belarus and Ukraine.* 128 p.
“To date, trafficking in males has been under-considered in research
despite noteworthy signals that it is a violation faced by many males,
adult and minors. Often severely exploited male migrants are overlooked
as victims of trafficking (VoT). The noteworthy number of men exposed to
trafficking necessitates assistance tailored to their specific needs and
interests. Tailoring of services is required to the specific profile of
male victim, not least according to their trafficking experience,
whether they are a minor or adult and the family and social conditions
to which they will return.”

POPPY Project (2004). *When Women are Trafficked: Quantifying the
gendered experience of trafficking in the UK*. 8 p. This qualitative
study considered the experiences of women trafficked to the UK for
sexual exploitation prior to, during, and after they were trafficked.
  It provides a startling insight into the world of trafficking, the
impact it has upon women, and the re-victimisation of women who have
experienced violence.

Albanian Inter-NGO Coalition Together Against Child Trafficking (2008).*
Situational Analysis Report on Child Trafficking in Albania. *80 p. This
report is an assessment of the current child trafficking situation in
Albania and the level of progress done by actors engaged in fighting the
phenomenon.

International Labour Organisation (ILO). (2008). *Human Trafficking And
Forced Labour - Case studies and responses from Portugal. *175 p.
Portuguese emigration today, which is overwhelmingly directed towards
European Union Member States, seems to be at crossroads. Between formal
entitlement to an employment status equivalent to that of the
destination countries’ own citizens and the labour exploitation
documented here, there is a deep divide that must be bridged. Temporary
employment agencies and informal recruiters working for foreign agencies
play a key role in leading Portuguese workers into labour exploitation
and forced labour situations.

Long, L.D. (2008). *Trafficking Exchanges and Economic Responses:
Reflections from Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia*. 32 p. “Trafficking for
sexual exploitation involves an exchange transaction of gifts, services
and/or objects. The elements and terms of the exchange reflect the
relations and forms of organization of the particular economic system in
which the transaction occurs. In traditional cultures and local
economies, women may be exchanged as gifts to create alliances, to make
peace, and to ensure the continuity of lineages. In market economies,
women supply services for the financial benefit of sellers (others), who
try to maximize their own profits by controlling the exchange relation.
In a global market system, commodified bodies are exchanged across large
distances to different locale offering the highest price.”

Dottridge, M. (2008). *Young People’s Voices on Child Trafficking:
Experiences from South Eastern Europe*. 67 p. There is a dearth of
information about violence against children, including trafficking, that
actually comes from children. This gap has resulted in the development
of responses that have often been ad hoc and sometimes even
counterproductive. Historically, this has been true in the discourse
around child labour and other forms of exploitation, though in the last
decade child labour research that is child-centred and engages children
themselves has grown in scope and number. This publication intends to
contribute to existing research on child trafficking by adding the
perspectives of affected children and young people.

International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD). (2007).
*2006 Year Book on Illegal Migration, Human Smuggling and Trafficking in
Central and Eastern Europe. *247 p. “A Survey and Analysis of Border
Management and Border Apprehension Data from 20 States. With a Special
Survey on the Use of Counterfeit Documents. Based on the contributions
of the border services of 20 Central and Eastern European states, the
2006 Yearbook again provides its valuable overview and analysis of
irregular migration trends in the region. Over the past ten years the
annual Yearbook on Illegal Migration, Human Smuggling and Trafficking in
Central and Eastern Europe has come to be regarded as an authoritative
source of information on recent border trends and in particular on the
phenomena of illegal migration, human smuggling and trafficking.”

United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). Innocenti Research Centre.
(2008). *Child Trafficking in Europe. A Broad Vision to Put Children
First. *68 p. “Within and across borders in Europe, children are
trafficked into a variety of exploitative situations, violating their
human rights and threatening their survival and development. This report
assesses the legal, policy and implementation frameworks in place to
address child trafficking in the region.”

Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women (GAATW) at al. (2008). *A
trinational study about Trafficking in Women from Brazil and the
Dominican Republic to Suriname: A joint intervention.* 188 p. “The
trafficking in people (especially women) – between Brazil, the Dominican
Republic on the one hand and Suriname on the other, with a connection to
Holland (including the Dutch Antilles) – is a problem that requires a
concerted response. The Dutch statistics reflect an irrelevant number of
Brazilian and Dominican women as victims of human trafficking despite
there being evidence of a large number of Latin women working in the sex
industry (non-documented) in that country, having arrived there,
according to them, via Suriname.”

Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women (GAATW) at al. (2008).
*Investigación tripartit sobre trata de mujeres: Brasil, República
Dominicana y Surinam. Una intervención en red. *196 p.* *“La Trata de
personas (especialmente de mujeres) desde Brasil y la República
Dominicana, hacia Surinam, como conexión para Holanda (incluyendo a las
Antillas Holandesas), representa una realidad que exige respuestas
articuladas. En las estadísticas holandesas las mujeres brasileñas y
dominicanas, como víctimas de la Trata de personas, representan un
número irrelevante, a pesar de que hay evidencias de que un gran número
de latinas trabajan en el comercio sexual (indocumentadas) en este país
y, según informaciones de las mismas, muchas entran a Holanda vía
Surinam.”
