Dear friends and colleagues

We have again updated the digital library http://www.childtrafficking.com 
and the update includes twelve documents dealing with trafficking.

Sanjog. (2011). Where Have All the Flowers Gone?  An Evidence-Based 
Research Into Sex Trafficking of Girls. 80 p. “This research draws its 
learnings from the implementation of an anti-trafficking case management 
programme – the objectives of which are to identify cases of children 
disconnected from their families and assist families to recover traces of 
their missing children. This programme shows that if the assistance begins 
from the source areas/ victims’ homes, then victims are often recovered 
even before they are sold off into brothels; traffickers in the source 
areas (first procurers) can be arrested and evidence from destination 
points can be used to strengthen the case against the first procurers. And 
this has a significant impact on prevention – because the crime gets 
visibilised to the community at large.”

United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). (2011). Responses to 
Human Trafficking in Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka. 74 p. "Within 
South Asia, the legal regime is diverse, and the SAARC Convention on 
Preventing and Combating Trafficking in Women and Children for 
Prostitution 2002, represents a need and political commitment from the 
countries in the SAARC region. Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Sri Lanka have 
all taken steps in the right direction to combat human trafficking; 
however, there is need to look closely at country specific laws to 
understand where the gaps lie. It is in the light of this, that a Legal 
and Policy Review of Responses to Human Trafficking has been taken up. 
This Report looks at the law and policy, especially in the context of the 
Protocol, supplementing work already available in different studies."

Alliance Anti Traffic. (2011). Prostitutions, Mobility and 
Representations: The Case of Vietnamese Prostitutes Going to Cambodia. 32 
p. "This study examines the field of prostitute mobility among Vietnamese 
women between Vietnam and Cambodia. It leaves aside other forms of 
migration for economic or professional reasons, as well as the social and 
commercial interactions that take place along the border. Specifically, my 
goal is to put into perspective studies done in Cambodia at the end of the 
1990s and the start of the 2000s. What has changed on the ground in the 
study of prostitution in this region over the last ten years? And what is 
the view of things on the Vietnamese side?"

Norwegian Church Aid. (2010).Trafficking, Sexual Exploitation and 
Prostitution of Women and Girls in Iraq. 36 p. "This report investigates 
the factors that promote trafficking in women for prostitution, identifies 
the obstacles in preventing sexual exploitation and in punishing 
perpetrators, and recommends ways of addressing violence against women and 
protecting victims of trafficking and prostitution in Iraq."

London Councils and GLE. (2011). The 2012 Games and Human Trafficking: 
Identifying Possible Risks and Relevant Good Practices from Other Cities. 
28 p. "This report briefly outlines the international and European legal 
and policy frameworks that exist to counter human trafficking, and 
summarises the laws, mechanisms and organisations that play a role in 
tackling trafficking and supporting its victims, which are relevant to, or 
active in, London. Multi-agency work and knowledge sharing is essential 
for offering support to victims."

Scotland’s Commissioner for Children and Young People, Centre for Rural 
Childhood, Perth College UHI. (2011). Scotland: A Safe Place for Child 
Traffickers? 96p. “The study presented here is viewed through a Scottish 
lens and is informed by knowledge of the agencies responsible for children 
in Scotland. It also has to be acknowledged that whereas responsibility 
for immigration and transnational crime remain ultimately with the UK 
Government as reserved matters, child protection and welfare are devolved 
issues. Dealing with trafficking involves services overseen and delivered 
by a number of government departments, for some of which the 
responsibility remains principally with the UK Government while others are 
primarily the responsibility of the Scottish Government.”

UNICRI. (2010). Trafficking of Nigerian Grils in Italy: The Data, The 
Stories, The Social Services. 109 p. "This publication is a research study 
on the services and social protection interventions in favour of minor 
Nigerian girls who are victims of trafficking in Italy. The survey, which 
was conducted by a team of researchers from Parsec Association coordinated 
by Professor Francesco Carchedi, follows a previous research conducted in 
2004 by the Universities of Turin and Benin City, aimed at exploring the 
process of trafficking from Nigeria, from recruitment to the journey 
towards Europe, up to exploitation in Italy. From a comparison of the two 
studies, it appears that all the essential components of the trafficking 
of young Nigerian women seem to follow a well established pattern, whose 
main features have not changed from the first study. The aim of the study 
was to highlight the particular aspects of trafficking from Nigeria, 
especially those related to minors, while examining the specific needs and 
characteristics of these services through a qualitative research 
approach."

World Organization for Human Rights USA. (2011). Guide to Establishing the 
Asylum Eligibility of Victims of Human Trafficking and Forced Marriage. 80 
p. "This manual focuses primarily on tips and strategies for drafting a 
brief in an asylum case. It contains brief explanations of each element of 
asylum law and suggestions for framing the arguments, including sample 
authority. These same arguments and much (but not all) of the sample 
authority is repeated in the accompanying sample briefs. Used in 
conjunction with the sample briefs, the manual helps to explain why 
certain arguments or ways of approaching issues are helpful. The manual 
clarifies the logic behind the sample briefs so that users may narrow in 
on which arguments and citations would be most helpful to their case."

Center for Women Policy Studies. (2007). Report Card on State Action to 
Combat International Trafficking. 108 p.  "Since 2002, when Washington 
became the first state in the United States to enact anti-traffi cking 
legislation, states have made great strides forward in confronting these 
complex issues. We take this opportunity to honor Washington for blazing a 
trail for other states to follow — passing the first state criminalization 
law in 2003, creating the fi rst statewide interagency task force in 2002, 
and passing the first legislation to regulate international marriage 
brokers (IMBs) in 2002. As of December 31, 2006, 27 states had enacted 
some form of anti-traffi cking law — including 25 state criminalization 
statutes, 10 laws to create statewide interagency task forces, 
commissions, or special studies, four laws to regulate international 
marriage brokers that operate in the state, and four statutes to regulate 
travel service providers that facilitate sex tourism."

Global Alliance Against Traffic in Women (GAATW). (2010). Feeling Good 
About Feeling Bad: A Global Review of Evaluation of Anti-trafficking 
Initiatives. 28 p.  "This research explores and assesses the evaluation of 
anti-trafficking policies and programmes worldwide, including three 
international, two regional and nine national anti-trafficking 
initiatives. It highlights common themes and emerging patterns between a 
range of approaches to evaluation in this sector and finds overwhelmingly 
that anti-trafficking initiatives are not being sufficiently evaluated, 
impeding the effectiveness of anti-trafficking responses and limiting 
progress in combating trafficking. Urgent action in the form of adequate 
evaluation systems is imperative to ensure anti-trafficking programmes are 
effectively targeted and delivered."

International Organization for Migration (IOM). (2010). The Causes and 
Consequences of Re-trafficking: Evidence from the IOM Human Trafficking 
Database. 74p. “By exploring the 79 known re-trafficking cases in the IOM 
Human Trafficking Database over a 10-year period (from 1999 to 2009), this 
research has found that the groups who appear to be most vulnerable to 
re-trafficking are women, children and young adults. Those who have been 
trafficked under the age of 18 are often vulnerable to re-trafficking in 
adult life.”

Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE). (2011). 
Unprotected Work, Invisible Exploitation: Trafficking for the Purpose of 
Domestic Servitude. 72 p. “The Paper is meant to provide a policy tool for 
decision makers and practitioners dealing with trafficking in human beings 
on the ground. It is based on desk research, field work and case study 
analyses in order to shed light on one of the most invisible forms of 
modern-day slavery. The Paper also benefits from the comments, inputs and 
expertise of specialized NGOs. Furthermore, it is enriched by the valuable 
contributions and direct experience of policymakers and public officials 
(including law enforcement, prosecutors, judges, diplomats), as well as 
trade unions, international organizations and academics who participated 
in the Alliance Conference.”
