Part 9 - Human Trafficking: Causes, Consequences and Counter-Measures

Challenges to Counter-Trafficking Efforts

Human trafficking is a complex problem, and counter-efforts need to address causes and consequence in a comprehensive and balanced manner. Over recent years, governments, international organizations and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) have created a governance system that encompasses five distinct yet complementary approaches:

legislative measures

• prosecution of traffickers

• protection of trafficked persons

• prevention of trafficking in countries of origin and prevention of trafficking in countries of destination.

Although progress has been made, counter-trafficking faces numerous challenges. These five approaches will be described in Parts 10-14 of this series of blogs.
