![Page 2: Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-Region A Presentation by the UNIAP United Nations Inter-agency Project on Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-region.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d975503460f94a812be/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Since 1998:
• A remarkable increase in the number of anti-trafficking projects in the Greater Mekong Sub-Region…
• … but no significant reduction in the magnitude of human trafficking.

Community ExploitationMovement
Human Trafficking: the illegal trading of human beings for the purpose of exploiting their labour.

People cross borders:
•Alone or with a “facilitator”
•Legally or illegally

Smuggling:Facilitator + Illegal migration + For Work
Trafficking:Facilitator + Legal + Exploitation
or illegalmigration
How can we support victims of trafficking when in the same time we try to limit the
number of illegal migrants?
![Page 7: Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-Region A Presentation by the UNIAP United Nations Inter-agency Project on Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-region.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d975503460f94a812be/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Receiving communities:
Improve our ability to identify and support victims
![Page 8: Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-Region A Presentation by the UNIAP United Nations Inter-agency Project on Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-region.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d975503460f94a812be/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Receiving communities: Reduce people’s ability to traffic and exploit migrants.
• Create a society in which abuse of migrants is not tolerated;
• Ensure that traffickers’ and exploiters’ business gets disrupted;
• Improve criminal justice responses.

Movement:
Facilitate people’s safe migration.
![Page 10: Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-Region A Presentation by the UNIAP United Nations Inter-agency Project on Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-region.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d975503460f94a812be/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Sending communities:
Reduce people’s vulnerabilities to trafficking;
Increase people’s awareness of dangers;
Increase protection in village.
![Page 11: Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-Region A Presentation by the UNIAP United Nations Inter-agency Project on Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-region.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d975503460f94a812be/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The UN Inter-Agency Project ’s Mandate:
To reduce the severity and harm associated with human trafficking in the Greater Mekong Sub-region by identifying gaps in responses and promoting a more coordinated approach among regional actors.
![Page 12: Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-Region A Presentation by the UNIAP United Nations Inter-agency Project on Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-region.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d975503460f94a812be/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
UNIAP’s four Project Components:
Build and share sound knowledge on trafficking;
Promote joint priority setting among anti-trafficking actors;
Support research and targeted interventions;
Support advocacy efforts.

Building the knowledge-base
The UNIAP has created and maintains a complete mapping of anti-trafficking interventions in the Mekong Sub-region;
The Project has compiled an impressive collection of good-practices and lessons learnt;
![Page 14: Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-Region A Presentation by the UNIAP United Nations Inter-agency Project on Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-region.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d975503460f94a812be/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
There is no agreement on trafficking figures:
Worldwide estimates of human trafficking victims each year vary from
600,000 (UNIFEM) to 2,000,000 (UNICEF) to
4,000,000 (United Nations).
The same blurriness prevails for the Mekong Sub-region…
![Page 15: Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-Region A Presentation by the UNIAP United Nations Inter-agency Project on Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-region.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d975503460f94a812be/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Joint priority setting
The UNIAP brings together an extensive network of governments, local and international non-governmental organisations, United Nations agencies, and donors.
In each country, regular Working Group Meetings enable the anti-trafficking community to take stock of trends and to make common decisions for the future.
![Page 16: Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-Region A Presentation by the UNIAP United Nations Inter-agency Project on Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-region.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d975503460f94a812be/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Human Trafficking is, all at once:
A Development Problem
A Legal Problem
A Human Rights Problem
A Social Problem
A Policing Problem
A Gender Problem
A Migration Problem
An Economic Problem
![Page 17: Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-Region A Presentation by the UNIAP United Nations Inter-agency Project on Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-region.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d975503460f94a812be/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Targeted interventions
60 projects supported in Phase I, including:
Prevention work in receiving communities (HCC, Cambodia);
Establishment of a repatriation mechanism between Laos/Myanmar and Thailand;
Establishment of a list-serve in Cambodia, currently sending updated information on trafficking to more than 300 organisations on a weekly basis.
![Page 18: Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-Region A Presentation by the UNIAP United Nations Inter-agency Project on Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-region.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d975503460f94a812be/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Adopt an evidence-based approach to anti-trafficking work:
Research
Pilot testing of interventions
Drawing lessons and good practices
Replication
![Page 19: Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-Region A Presentation by the UNIAP United Nations Inter-agency Project on Human Trafficking in the Mekong Sub-region.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070323/56649d975503460f94a812be/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Secure high-level commitment against trafficking:
supportive policies in the areas of labour, macro-economy, access to services and legal status may end up having more impact on the
phenomenon than trafficking-specific interventions.
