Trafficking in human beings (THB) is the movement and control of people by force, coercion or deception with the aim of exploiting the victim. It's most often for sexual or labour exploitation but may also include • debt bondage • domestic servitude • organ harvesting • forced marriage • child soldiering • street begging.

THB deprives people of their basic human rights, fuels the growth of organised crime and poses a global health risk. In 2009 the UNODC estimated that globally at any one time 2.5 million people were trafficked between 161 countries, generating around US$ 31.6 billion in profit. Almost 1.2 million of the victims were children.

This event will briefly outline some of these complexities which impact upon all levels of our society, and draw together different perspectives on the issue to provide an insight and impetus into the need for more multidisciplinary approaches in tackling THB. The session will conclude by providing information for audience members who may wish in some way to play an active role in supporting victims and or efforts to prevent the trafficking of human beings.
