Hereýs Some ýFood for Thoughtý on Trafficking:
Does it make more sense to you to devote efforts to prosecuting traffickers, curtailing demand, or helping potential victims to avoid being trafficked? What about our societies might need to be changed to ensure that people are less vulnerable to trafficking networks? For some women in poor countries, prostitution may be their only means of making a living. What do you think about their options and how NGOs can best assist them? How can NGOs better address the corruption that fuels the trafficking trade? Should trafficked victims have rights to stay in the countries to which they have been trafficked? Why or why not and under what circumstances? What kind of programs addressing gender equity would make a difference to combat the trafficking of young women and girls?
