4.10 Trafficking Objectives • To understand the issue of trafficking • To become aware of the possibilities to take action against trafficking Target group • Both men or women together or separately • All ages • All educational levels • Urban and rural areas Material • This manual Exercise Step 1 • Read the following story: Chantha, born and raised in a poor family from Kompong Cham, works as a prostitute. A female relative tricked her into coming to Phnom Penh on the promise of a job in a restaurant where she could earn two to three chi (1chi=3.75 grams) of gold per month. Instead, she was locked up in a brothel in the Boding slum and forced to serve clients. For three months, she still believed she could escape, not realizing that she had been sold. When she finally demanded to be set free, she was told by the brothel owner that she would have to pay for her freedom and this would be very expensive. She would have to work hard and earn a lot in order to repay the sum of money given to her relative. Fearing further beatings, she obeyed the brothel owner. Step 2 • Discuss the story with the group using the following questions: - What is the story about? - How can something like this happen? (Causes of trafficking) - Who do they think will sell women/girls/boys? - Who will buy the women/girls/boys? - What kind of promises will traffickers make to convince someone to come with him/her? - Who is being trafficked? (victims) - What happens with the women/girls/boys who are sold? - What can we do against it? How can we mobilize others to fight against it? - What can we do to enable victims to lead a normal life again? 89
Step 3 • Summarize the main points discussed during the session Notes for the trainer The most recent and most widely accepted definition of trafficking is the one included in the Palermo Protocol on Trafficking (2000). It is as follows: • 'Trafficking in persons' means the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person, for the purpose of exploitation. Exploitation shall include, at a minimum, 'the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labour or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs'. • The consent of a trafficking victim to the exploitation shall be irrelevant where any of the means mentioned above, such as the abuse of power, have been used. • The recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of a child for the purpose of exploitation shall be considered “trafficking in persons” even if this does not involve any of the means mentioned above. • “Child” shall mean any person less than eighteen years of age. Simply said, this means that it is not allowed to take or force people to other places with the objective to employ them in different kind of activities against their will. Examples: people who are brought to the city against their will to work in factories for a very low wage or for a meal only. Or people who are brought to foreign countries and forced to work as a domestic servant, or girls and women who are forced to work as a prostitute in brothels and bars. Be aware: many children and or women initially have left willingly or were misled, and were forced later. There are many causes of trafficking, the most common are: • poverty of the family • unequal status and subsequent discrimination of women and girls in society, in education and the labour market • search for employment • illiteracy/ignorance/lack of awareness among people • lack of community support network • increasing demand for younger and younger girls and boys in brothels • a high and quick profit making business for traffickers • ineffective legal measures or enforcement of such measures One should be very careful with everybody who makes nice promises, even relatives. Traffickers are often found among the following categories: • factory owners or labour recruiters • bar/brothel owners • returning migrant workers • someone who promises a marriage but the information is unclear • someone who promises a job abroad that will make you rich very quickly 90
