Addressing Emerging Human Trafficking Trends and Consequences of the COVID-19 Pandemic

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) and The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women), advised by a group of experts and based on the survey findings presented here, have developed policy recommendations to governments to ensure the implementation of the human rights, gender sensitive, trauma informed and victim-centered approach to combatting trafficking in human beings as outlined in ODIHR’s National Referral Mechanism Handbook through the COVID-19 pandemic. The panel of experts is composed of: • Kevin Hyland, Former first United Kingdom Anti-Slavery Commissioner and Member of Council of Europe GRETA; • Dalia Leinarte, Chair of CEDAW Committee for General Recommendations Trafficking of Women and Girls in the Context of Global Migration; • Congressman Christopher H. Smith, OSCE PA Special Representative on Human Trafficking Issues; • Ambassador Per-Anders Sunesson, Swedish Ambassador at Large for Combating Trafficking in Persons; and • Shandra Woworuntu, Founder & Vice President of Mentari and survivor leader. ODIHR and UN Women would like to extend special thanks to Dr. Maia Rusakova, Associate Professor at Saint-Petersburg State University, Director of Regional Public Organization “Stellit” and expert in the sphere of combating sexual exploitation and trafficking in human beings for drafting and analyzing this summary. This report was prepared under the supervision of Tatiana Kotlyarenko, ODIHR Adviser on Anti-Trafficking Issues, and Alethia Jimenez, UN Women Policy Specialist, Ending Violence Against Women Section. Significant contributions were also made by ODIHR and UN Women staff: Maximilian Scheid, Alvaro Gomez del Valle Ruiz and Michelle Mendes Meireles Silva.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

“Human trafficking is always invisible. During a pandemic, it is easier to have cases going on that nobody reports.” Frontline Stakeholder from Portugal The COVID-19 pandemic created new risks and challenges to victims of trafficking (VoTs) and survivors of trafficking, as well as having exacerbated the vulnerabilities of at-risk groups to trafficking. To analyze emerging trafficking in human beings (THB) trends and dynamics and to develop a response based on empirical data to address the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, ODIHR and UN Women conducted a global survey of (1) survivors of trafficking and (2) frontline stakeholders. Based on the survey findings and empirical data collected, a set of policy recommendations were developed.

The survey findings indicate that through the COVID-19 pandemic and afterwards, exacerbation of vulnerability of women and girls to THB for the purposes of sexual exploitation will increase. Online recruitment, grooming and exploitation have been widely used by traffickers during the pandemic. There are also indications that trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation online, including the demand for Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) has increased.1 The majority of anti-trafficking stakeholders and survivors of trafficking reported decreased accessibility of assistance and services for VoTs and survivors of trafficking.

Frontline organizations experienced significant challenges in their activities during the pandemic due to additional barriers in co-ordination and co-operation with governmental institutions and law enforcement agencies; lack of financial resources; difficulties in reaching vulnerable groups; and suspension or postponement of planned prevention and awareness raising activities. The combination of these factors on the work of frontline anti-trafficking stakeholders negatively impacts prevention, prosecution, and protection efforts to combat trafficking in human beings (CTHB).

Based on the survey findings and research, ODIHR and UN Women have developed policy recommendations to address the trends and consequences of the pandemic on CTHB covering the following areas: 1) strengthen the implementation of international legal frameworks; 2) develop effective implementation of National Referral Mechanism (NRMs) or equivalent systems to address the current THB trends and consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic; 3) develop and/or update of National Strategies and National Action Plans (NAPs) to CTHB to address the THB trends and consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic; 4) strengthen identification of VoTs to address the trends and consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic; 5) make services to VoTs and survivors of trafficking more accessible during and post pandemic; 6) provide access to remedies including justice and information; 7) address specific needs of women and girls; 8) address specific needs of children; 9) support and build capacity for both governmental and non-governmental frontline stakeholders; 10) strengthen efforts at THB prevention related to the pandemic; and 11) implement measures to reduce THB after the pandemic.

Vrisak njihove kćeri

Nitko, kaže Ljiljan Oršuš, ne zna što je zapravo 18-godišnjak tražio u njihovoj kući i koje su mu bile namjere.

Bacio je kamen prema njemu

– Oko pet sati ujutro suprugu i mene probudio je vrisak naše kćeri. Prvo smo mislili da je ružno sanjala, a kad sam ušao u sobu, vidio sam muškarca kako izlazi kroz prozor. Odmah sam krenuo za njim i prvo sam bacio kamen prema njemu. Nisam ga pogodio, ali sam ga uspio dostići i nisam ga puštao sve dok nije došla policija – priča nam Ljiljan Oršuš.

Pijani 18-godišnjak, dodaje Ljiljan, nudio mu je 200 kuna kako ga ne bi prijavio policiji.

Nisam htio ni čuti za novac jer tko zna što je on zapravo namjeravao napraviti kad je ušao kroz prozor u našu kuću. Bio je bos, a i bicikl je ostavio u našem dvorištu pa je sigurno imao nekakav plan bez obzira na to što je bio pijan – kaže Ljiljan Oršuš.

Nacionalna manjina

Odmah drugi dan nakon neočekivanog posjeta, ističe Ljiljan, 18-godišnjak se opet “motao” oko njegove kuće. Zbog toga je obitelj Oršuš u strahu da ih iz osvete ne napadne.

Mi mu kao nacionalna manjina, očito smetamo, misli Ljiljan

– Mi smo Romi i u Čepelovac smo se doselili prije tri mjeseca kako bismo imali mir. Tu smo se dobro uklopili, a ne poznajemo 18-godišnjaka koji je upao u našu kuću. Poslije sam doznao da se druži s vršnjacima iz Čepelovca, a kako on nije Rom, mogu samo pretpostaviti da mu mi, kao nacionalna manjina, smetamo i da ima nešto protiv Roma. Od nedjelje više ne spavamo mirno i bojimo se da nam taj divljak ne naudi – zaključio je Ljiljan Oršuš.

Mladić pijan

Policijskom istragom utvrđeno je da je 18-godišnjak u nedjelju oko pet sati pod utjecajem alkohola od 1,25 promila neovlašteno ušao u kuću 32-godišnjaka i probudio ukućane.

– Prema osumnjičeniku podneseno je posebno izvješće nadležnom Državnom odvjetništvu – navode u županijskoj Policijskoj upravi.
