OAS to Assist Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Officials in Combating Trafficking in Persons
June 20, 2011
The Organization of American States (OAS) will train, on June 21 and 22, 40 consular and diplomat officials from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, as well as personnel from the country’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade, and Consumer Affairs with the goal of increasing their awareness of the crime of trafficking in persons and strengthening their efforts to prevent it and fight it.
Trafficking in persons is a modern form of slavery and a violation of basic human rights involving coercive sexual exploitation, forced labor and involuntary servitude, among others. The OAS program, “Capacity Development to Recognize and Address Anti-Trafficking in Persons within the Foreign Service in the Caribbean Countries,” has been implemented in 12 Member States throughout the Americas.
During the two-day training seminar, led by OAS anti-trafficking in persons experts, officials will look at areas such as the distinction between trafficking and smuggling of migrants; gender and human rights; victim identification, assistance and protection; and how trafficking in persons affects men, women, boys and girls in different ways.
The OAS is working to strengthen the capacity of consular and diplomat officials to recognize and identify victims of trafficking in persons and increase the exchange of information among Caribbean agencies working to address this threat, and improve their capacity to protect victims.
