About
The side event will provide a platform to discuss appropriate measures to comprehensively address the use of technology both as a challenge to combatting trafficking in human beings of women and girls and as part of the solution. It will focus on anti-trafficking efforts during emergencies, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the armed conflict in Ukraine and global environmental change. In line with ODIHR’s efforts to promote the inclusion of survivors’ voices and perspectives as a core practice for the design and implementation of anti-trafficking responses, this side event will be informed by the expertise of survivor leaders.
The event will not only facilitate discussions about the use of technologies, both by traffickers and for the investigation, but also suggest further actions to prevent trafficking of women and girls. It will also serve as a framework to reaffirm the importance of including survivors’ voices and generating solutions to prevent and combat trafficking of women and girls.
