Project Overview
|
|
The
focus of
proposed project is security issue with the focus of human
trafficking and illegal migration from Ukraine. Human Trafficking
is a
growing transnational criminal phenomenon. Increased economic
globalization and
privatization has resulted in an increased feminization of poverty,
forcing
greater numbers of women worldwide to migrate in search of work. Many
of these
migrants end up as victims of illegal and unscrupulous trafficking
networks. The
problem of trafficking remains too narrowly defined in many countries
and that
the social, employment and migration aspects of trafficking are too
often
ignored.
The objectives of the
current project are:
- To collect data including on the character
and scale of trafficking and the trafficking and exploitation
mechanisms deployed by the organized criminal groups.
- To develop better indicators of human
trafficking which help to improve the data sharing among all relevant
institution;
- Specifies and updates the meaning of the
term "sexual exploitation" "border crossing", "consent", or "systematic"
and "organized group", differences between "human
trafficking" and "smuggling".
- Clearly define what is to be understood by
"trafficking in person". It refers to a certain number of offenses
included in the Criminal Code which are a component of trafficking in
person.
- Determine the impact of human trafficking,
including both the profits made and the role of trafficking in the
underground economy. Development of a good perception and analysis of
factors that creates a social and cultural "climate" favorable to
exploitation and disregard of individuals' human rights.
