Combating and preventing trafficking in human beings

The European Parliament's Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs (LIBE) and the Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality (FEMM) will be hosting a programme tomorrow on "Combating and preventing trafficking in human beings: the way forward." You can tune in for a live broadcast at 14:55 Brussels time.

The aim of this event is "to explore ways forward, together with the relevant institutional and civil society stakeholders, at EU and international level, in order to give the rapporteurs and shadow rapporteurs the widest awareness of the phenomenon in view of negotiating the proposed Directive." (i.e., the Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on preventing and combating trafficking in human beings, and protecting victims, repealing Framework Decision 2002/629/JHA).

UNHCR recently issued its own Comments on the proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on preventing and combating trafficking in human beings, and protecting victims (COM(2010)95, 29 March 2010).
