Combating trafficking in human beings

In response to the recommendations of the 11th OSCE Economic Forum in May 2003 and the provisions of the OSCE Action Plan to Combat Trafficking in Human Beings, the OCEEA has developed an Anti-Trafficking Programme on Public-Private Co-operation in the Prevention of Trafficking in Human Beings (ATP).
The ATP aims at addressing both the demand and supply side of trafficking in human beings by:

Promoting self-regulation of the private sector;
Raising the awareness of trafficking in countries of destination, in particular in Western countries;
Creating economic empowerment opportunities for potential victims of trafficking in countries of origin.

Self-regulation of the private sector

The business community, in particular the hospitality, travel and tourism industry, can play a crucial role in tackling the demand side of trafficking.
