According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights anti-trafficking measures "shall not adversely affect the human rights and dignity of persons, in particular the rights of those who have been trafficked and of migrants, internally displaced persons, refugees and asylum seekers". However, human rights defenders have become more and more concerned that many strategies designed to fight trafficking have proven counter-productive for the very people they were intended to benefit. |

Fourth Training: Networking and Family work with Children and Young Persons Victims of Trafficking |
|
27 Jun 2007 Published by: Lars Lööf (CBSS)
|
|
The importance of the family in supporting a young person can never be overestimated and care workers need to develop their expertise in how to create a healing context that works towards including the family in all forms of assistance. The network of relatives, neighbours, friends and other people in the young person?s life may also be used as a resource when it comes to assistance. |

Second Training: Psychological Assistance to Children Victims of Trafficking |
|
27 Jun 2007 Published by: Lars Lööf (CBSS)
|
|
A number of difficult issues are involved in looking at assistance for children victims of trafficking. Areas that need to be developed further exist side by side with areas where knowledge and expertise is already in place. How does exploitation affect the young person? Overall, the knowledge on how children are affected psychologically by exploitation is limited. Some experience exists but this is built on few cases and the knowledge has not been systematically organised nor is it in a form that can be communicated. The lack of knowledge in this field must not lead into denying young persons access to the best possible psychological care. The four C?s: Compliance, Control, Closure and Compensation seem to be important parts of any comprehensive psychotherapeutic treatment process that should be offered young persons that have been exploited. |

Save the Children Sweden publishes Annual Report on Children Residing in Sweden without Proper Documents |
|
19 Jun 2007 Published by: Lars Lööf (CBSS)
|

Save the Children Sweden introduced in March 2006 a website in several
languages, a free telephone line and an e-mail address for children and
young people who live in Sweden without the proper papers. One important
observation that can be made after the first year of this project is that
undocumented children are primarily treated as undocumented, and
secondarily as children. When they are treated as children first and foremost
it is due to the views of individual adults. Among the observations is also
that families who are forced to migrate are often at risk of being split up in
the process, and that separated children have become undocumented after
being denied asylum. |

First Training: Protective Care of Children and Young Persons that have been Trafficked |
|
05 Jun 2007 Published by: Lars Lööf (CBSS)
|
|
Protection of child victims of trafficking and of children and young persons that are unac-companied is a double issue: Children need protection in some form from traffickers. Some may be involved in criminal gangs that may want to get at the young person in order to retali-ate her/him witnessing against traffickers. They may also want to get to the young person in order to retraffic her or him. In several cases the trafficker may be a boyfriend and the at-tempts to get to the girl and persuade her to join him again may be in line with the young trafficked persons own ambition. |

25 Apr 2007 Published by: Keller Hamela, Maria (Poland)

The Nobody's Children Foundation is a nonprofit non-governmental organization, which provides a broad scope of assistance to abused children, their parents, and guardians.
The Foundation's activities are addressed to physically, psychologically, and sexually abused and neglected children, their parents and guardians, as well as professionals dealing with cases of child abuse.
Our main goal is to develop an efficient aid system for abused children, a system that would integrate activities of state institutions, local authorities and non-governmental organizations working for the benefit of children in the particular region.
We provide short- and long-term assistance to victims of abuse and to their guardians. Moreover, we offer psychological, educational, and legal counseling to people who have contact with cases of child abuse. We organize specialist training programs on problems related to child abuse for various professional groups and interdisciplinary teams. We conduct research and analyses that broaden knowledge about the problem and form the basis for our activities.
The Foundation?s team consists of experienced experts in problems related to child abuse. Though differing in life perspectives, they are all firmly convinced that abused children and their families need to be helped. This conviction stems both from the knowledge of the detrimental health, developmental and social effects of abuse on any human being, and from the belief that it is our moral obligation to support the weak, the helpless and the confused, whenever and wherever we encounter them. |

The objective of the conference is to look at the ways the community can prevent the sexual abuse of children. When faced with the discussion of sexual abuse, people are often limited to their emotional responses of outrage, fear, anger and denial. We have a great responsibility as spokespeople to set a good example and discuss it openly. We do that by drawing attention to the many ways we can learn about and prevent the sexual abuse of children.

Trauma, Posttraumatic Stress and Dissociation Among Swedish Adolescents: Evaluation of Questionnaires |
|
08 Feb 2007 Published by: Åkerman, Ingrid (Sweden)
|
|
The main aim of this thesis has been to investigate trauma and dissociation among Swedish adolescents and to evaluate the psychometric properties such as reliability and various kinds of validity of three screening instruments for assessment of dissociation and other symptoms of post traumatic stress. The three instruments in question have been Dis-Q-Sweden, A-DES and TSCC, the symptoms measured by these instruments are neither easy to capture nor easy for the adolescent to talk about. Therefore these self report scales are essential. A second aim has been to compare the results with results from other countries and to develop preliminary Swedish norms for the clinician to use. Age and gender differences have been looked upon as well as assessed symptoms connected to known experienced trauma/sexual and/or physical abuse and self-reported trauma in normal and clinical populations. |

Children make up a large proportion of international migration flows.

Globally unaccompanied children make up 4 per cent of the total number of asylum seekers. This figure does not include those who have migrated undetected, either alone or by organised criminal gangs. |

Human Trafficking - Seminar on Identification of Children at Risk of becoming Victims of Human Trafficking. Organised by the Finnish Presidency in Helsinki 31 October - 1 November 2006. |
|
10 Jan 2007 Published by: Åkerman, Ingrid (Sweden)
|
|
The Finnish EU Presidency identified the fight against human trafficking as one of its priorities in the field of justice and home affairs. In combating trafficking, the Presidency emphasizes three cross-cutting principles: a human rights and victim-centred approach; enhanced operational cooperation; and a continuance of the actions against trafficking.
With a view to implementing the EU Action Plan on Trafficking in Human Beings, the Presidency organised a Seminar designed to share best practises in respect of the identification of children at risk of becoming victims of human trafficking (paragraph 3.3.c of the annex to the EU Plan). The Seminar took place on 31 October and 1 November in Helsinki.
The aim of the Seminar was to address the issue of the identification of children at risk from a practical and operational point of view. The Seminar programme followed the path of a child victim. The objective was to heighten expertise and share good practises among the actors operating against human trafficking while also identifying the ways in which all of these actors can better cooperate in identifying and protecting those children deemed to be ?at risk?.
The conclusions were on the agenda of the EU Council Multidisciplinary Working Group on Organised Crime. The JHA Council has confirmed that the current EU Action Plan will be evaluated by the end of 2007 and recommendations will be given for further actions.

By the term "unaccompanied children" (also called "unaccompanied minors"), ENOC refers to all persons under 18 years of age who are outside their country of origin unaccompanied by an adult responsible for them (whether by law or custom), and for as long as they are not effectively taken into the care of such a person. This Statement summarizes the principles that ENOC believe must be respected and included in national and international legal instruments, administrative practices and services. |
