Training Manual to Fight Trafficking in Children for Labour, Sexual and Other Forms of Exploitation: Understanding Child Trafficking

Textbook 1 covers definitions of and approaches to child trafficking, and aims to outline the main concepts involved so that there is clarity and common understanding. It includes facts and figures designed to give a ‘snapshot’ of child trafficking across the world, and looks at how statistics and data can be gathered and used so that such a snapshot is clear and usable. Finally, it explores the people involved in anti-trafficking efforts. These elements – a common platform of understanding, data and statistics, and mapping of actors – strengths and weaknesses are essential prerequisites to effective action and are the key ingredients of National Action Plans (NAPs), a country’s blueprint for combating trafficking.
