ILO-TICW-Phase II is increasing its
advocacy work through greater outreach
to specific groups at risk of trafficking,
and working with our constituents –
Governments, Workers and Employers groups
– NGOs and other partners to educate
and mobilize society. The project is
actively working with other UN Agencies
and is taking part in a joint-advocacy
initiative with Save the Children UK
to promote greater participation of
children in the fight against human
trafficking in the GMS.
This second phase places a considerable emphasis
on the execution of advocacy and information
campaigns to counter demand in receiving/destination
areas. In order to properly monitor and evaluate
the effect of advocacy interventions, attitudinal
and behavioral baseline surveys are being
carried out in major sending and receiving
areas. Again, particularly close attention
is given to the views of children and women.
This research is supported by the work of
ILO regional and sub-regional experts, our
partners and stakeholders, at village, county
and national level.
The advocacy ranges from mass media campaigns
to group and one-on-one contact. The participatory
views of children and young people play
a leading role in the campaigns.
