Trafficking in Persons
A Gender and Rights Perspective

This joint UNIFEM/UNIAP briefing kit was first issued in October, 2002. UNIAP is the UN Inter-Agency Project on Human Trafficking in the Greater Mekong Sub-region.  

You can download the complete kit in Adobe Acrobat format (542Kb)
This kit is an invitation to all practitioners addressing the issue to revisit and rethink their efforts from a gender and rights perspective. It is dedicated to survivors of trafficking whose voices and experiences of struggle and resilience continue to inform our analysis on and response to trafficking.

The kit has informative sheets on:

  • What is trafficking?

  • Magnitude of the problem

  • Trafficking mechanisms and techniques

  • What is a gender perspective?

  • Vulnerability to trafficking

  • Abuses and consequences

  • Gender-responsive is rights-based

  • Elements of a rights perspective

  • Rights as empowering

  • Strategic interventions

  • Good practice

  • Conventions and protocols

  • International conferences

  • References and sources
The kit was produced by UNIFEM East and South East Regional Office, Bangkok and the United Nations Inter-Agency Project on Human Trafficking in the Greater Mekong Sub-region. Please acknowledge the source of this material and the contribution of UNIFEM and the UNIAP if you copy or quote all or part of the contents.
