THE OAS ORGANIZES A MEETING ON HUMAN TRAFFICKING WITH REPRESENTATIVES OF CIVIL SOCIETY
March 3, 2009
A Preparatory Meeting of representatives of the Civil Society with a view to the Second Meeting of National Authorities on Human Trafficking, that will take place in Buenos Aires (Argentina) from the 25th till the 27th of this month, began at the Organization of American States’ headquarters in Washington DC. The event, which will be held until March 4th, is organized by the Department of Public Security (DPS) of the Secretariat for Multidimensional Security.
The objective of the preparatory meeting of Civil Society for the Second Meeting of National Authorities on Human Trafficking is to provide a space for dialogue with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) involved in combating human trafficking in the Americas, in order to exchange information on progresses, challenges and good practices, and, based on their experiences, provide recommendations to OAS Member States for better coordination and efficiency among the various governmental institutions and NGOs working on this theme.
The meeting will count with the participation of representatives of 27 civil society organizations.
During the two-day event, the NGOs will report on progresses, good practices, and challenges in the areas of: prosecution on the crime of human trafficking, administration of justice, strategies for international cooperation and institutional strengthening, prevention of human trafficking, protection and comprehensive victim assistance, particularly for women, children and adolescents, including strategies of international cooperation. During the second day, Civil Society organizations will offer practical recommendations to OAS member states. These recommendations will be presented to the Member States during the Second Meeting of National Authorities.
The Department of Public Security hopes that through the dialogue with civil society organizations, Member States will coordinate efforts to combat a crime that requires an interdisciplinary and coordinated response, involving diverse actors of the society from the countries of origin, transit and destination.
This event has the financial support of the Government of Canada.
