Action
Dear Sir/Madam,
The ACP-EU Migration Action is very excited to bring to your attention the
finalized version of our brand new publication:Trafficking in Human Beings and
Smuggling of Migrants in ACP Countries: Key challenges and Ways Forward. It is
available for download from ourwebsite as well as theIOM bookstore.
This report aims to provide a thematic overview and analysis of the work of the
ACP-EU Migration Action in addressing the ACP-EU Dialogue on Migration and
Development recommendations on Trafficking in Human Beings (THB) and Smuggling
of Migrants (SoM) to date, coupled with recommendations and suggestions for
actions that stakeholders can take to strengthen their response to both THB and
SoM.
We would like to thank our author, Lori Mann, our IOM colleagues for their
valuable comments and contributions as well as the participants of
thePeer-to-Peer exchange meeting on Trafficking in Human Beings and Smuggling
of Migrants: through their participation and interventions, they provided us
with valuable inputs to the report. The publication of this report was made
possible with the financial support of the European Union.
The publication will be further promoted through our social media channels
(Facebook –Twitter) an through our website. Stay tuned!
We will also provide information on upcoming related events – such as our
Brainstorming Lab on ‘Understanding and Preventing Trafficking of Women and
Girls’ during theEuropean Development Days.
With our best regards
The ACP-EU Migration Action team,

PUBLICATION //Trafficking in Human Beings and Smuggling of Migrants in ACP
Countries:
Key Challenges and Ways Forward.
Trafficking in human beings (THB) and smuggling of migrants (SoM), two distinct
but often interrelated phenomena, occur on a global scale. Searching for a way
out of economic inequalities, environmental crises, armed conflict, political
instability and persecution, and in view of tightening border controls and
restricted options for legal migration, migrants are driven to seek the
services of smugglers. At the same time, a globalized economy fosters demand
for diverse types of exploitation, which also makes migrants vulnerable to
traffickers. Both THB and SoM are billion-dollar businesses that exact high
human costs. This is illustrated by the many migrants dying while being
smuggled along increasingly dangerous migration routes, and by the millions of
trafficking victims trapped in exploitative situations worldwide.
African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP)States are increasingly stepping up to
address THB and SoM. However, they face challenges in developing the necessary
holistic, long-term interventions that combine law enforcement with a
rights-based, victim-centred approach and with prevention efforts that are
linked to development and offer realistic, practical alternatives to irregular
migration. This ACP-EU Migration Action publication analyses these challenges
and provides recommendations to tackle the difficulties that ACP countries face
in relation to THB and SoM.
