When you're traveling, are you aware of warning signs to help fight human trafficking? Watch for: 1. A person exhibiting fear, anxiety, depression, submission, nervousness, and/or avoiding eye contact. 2. An adult whose passport and documents are held by someone else. 3. A traveler acting as though under instruction, or having someone speaking for him/her. 4. Someone who doesn't have any personal luggage and may be inappropriately dressed for travel, their age, the weather, and/or the destination. 5. A potential victim who is unable to provide details regarding their location of departure and/or flight information and/or destination. 6. Signs of neglect/physical abuse. 7. An adult guarding the door of a hotel room. If you suspect a human trafficking situation, for your own safety, never approach a suspect directly. But if you see something, say something. Report it to law enforcement, file a complaint with the hotel, and call a national anti-trafficking hotline, such as 1-888-373-7888. #EndHumanTrafficking #BlueHeartCampaign https://lnkd.in/gbKwkG7

Associate Professor of Social Work at University College Dublin, conducting research on refugees, particularly unaccompanied minors; Co-Chair UCD University of Sanctuary group
New research from the ISD (Institute for Strategic Dialogue) outlines the rise in anti-migrant and anti-asylum seeker harassment and violence in Ireland. It makes for depressing and frightening reading. "The current trends in violence and harassment show no signs of abating. Current government policy around the housing of asylum seekers, which is leaving thousands of people homeless on the streets, will continue to draw hostility to those seeking sanctuary in Ireland." https://lnkd.in/eu_vHXB4

Zero Coverage on the 85,000 children trafficked by this administration. During a hearing on Capitol Hill today, multiple whistleblowers from various government agencies responsible for unaccompanied illegal children came forward to claim that the US government (HHS), in collaboration with a federal contractor named Cherokee Federal, has knowingly “allowed children to be trafficked under their watch,” all while “taxpayers continue to fund it.” Deborah White, a federal employee assigned to the Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement (HHSORR), said, “Make no mistake, Children were not going to their parents. They were being trafficked with billions of taxpayer dollars by a contractor failing to vet sponsors and process children safely... With government officials complicit in it.” Takeaways from Debroah White: – White claimed that “sponsors” would often provide fake documents. She said she was reprimanded after attempting to contact the Guatemalan consulate to verify if the documents a sponsor provided were legitimate. – White claimed that one case she dealt with in Florida had someone claiming to be a sponsor for 12 different children “at multiple addresses.” – White claimed “children were sent to addresses that were abandoned houses [and] were nonexistent in some cases. In Michigan, a child was sent to an open field.” – White claims that she was told by higherups to not pursue investigations Digging Deeper: The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has lost contact with approximately 85,000 unaccompanied minors over the past two years. According to HHS, this figure does not mean all these children are missing and could indicate a “gap in follow-up procedures.” According to HHSORR, many sponsors are not parents and are “usually distant relatives.” Sign up for our newsletter at warhogg.com #lawenforcement #politics #humantrafficing #safety #security #southernborder #corruption #whistleblower

On World Day Against Trafficking in Persons, Missing Children Europe highlights the urgent issue of missing children and their immediate risk of trafficking, exploitation and abuse. Thousands of children go missing in Europe every year. 🧩 There are heightened risks of trafficking during the missing episodes, particularly for missing children in migration. These disappearances are often dismissed as voluntary, overlooking potential abduction, trafficking and severe dangers. Research shows an existing link between grooming, missing and trafficking, including online. To address these risks, we call on the EU and Member States to: • Ensure that implementation of the newly adopted Pact for Migration and Asylum reflects considerations of special guarantees and safeguards for children • Adopt robust legislation to fight CSA online and offline • Effectively implement revised EU Anti-Trafficking Directive Missing Children Europe and its network are committed to responding to and preventing these disappearances and protecting at-risk children. Join us in ending human trafficking and safeguarding vulnerable children. 🙏 💙

So, this is interesting.. the DDV concession, now renamed as the Migrant Victims of Domestic Abuse Concession guidance, has been widened so that partners of main applicants in work and study routes (including Graduate) can apply under it. A successful application under the concession will give partners the chance to leave an abusive relationship with a 3 months' grant of leave, with recourse to public funds and permission to work. Note that partners in these routes will still not be able to apply for settlement under Appendix Victims of Domestic Abuse (the 3 months' grant is to enable them to make arrangements to leave the UK or apply in another route), and the application will operate to vary their existing leave; ie it will cut it short to three months.

Human Trafficking a global threat to human kind. How to fight it. Combating human trafficking requires a multi-faceted approach involving prevention, prosecution, and protection. Enhancing international cooperation, raising awareness, and supporting survivor rehabilitation are crucial. Strengthening legal frameworks, increasing law enforcement efforts, and fostering collaboration between governments, NGOs, and communities are key components in the fight against this global threat. Strengthen collaboration between countries through joint task forces and information sharing. Support and implement international agreements, such as the United Nations Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons. Legal Frameworks: Enact arnd enforce comprehensive anti-trafficking laws with severe penalties for offenders. Regularly update legislation to address evolving tactics used by traffickers. Law Enforcement: Invest in specialized training for law enforcement agencies to improve their ability to identify and combat trafficking. Use technology and data analysis to track and dismantle trafficking networks. Prevention: Implement educational programs to raise awareness about the risks of trafficking in vulnerable communities. Provide economic opportunities and support to populations at risk of being targeted. Victim Protection: Develop and fund comprehensive victim support programs, including shelters, counseling, and legal assistance. Ensure victims have access to necessary services regardless of their immigration status. Corporate Responsibility: Encourage businesses to scrutinize and address potential trafficking within their supply chains. Establish and promote ethical business practices that prohibit exploitation. Technology: Leverage technology to monitor online platforms used for recruitment and advertisement of trafficking victims. Develop tools for reporting and tracking cases through digital platforms. Public Awareness: Launch widespread campaigns to inform the public about the signs of trafficking and how to report suspicious activities. Utilize social media and community outreach to amplify anti-trafficking messages. Current Examples: The European Union's 2021-2025 Anti-Trafficking Strategy focuses on prevention, prosecution, and protection. Operation Limelight USA combats trafficking at major international airports, raising awareness among travelers. NGOs like Polaris and ECPAT work globally to combat trafficking through advocacy, victim support, and policy initiatives. Combating human trafficking requires a sustained and coordinated effort across borders, involving governments, law enforcement, NGOs, and the private sector. #humantraffickingprevention #humantrafficking #humantraffickingawareness #unicef #funding

Human trafficking is not limited by legal status. It affects individuals from diverse backgrounds, including foreign nationals who are legally living and working in the United States. Traffickers exploit vulnerabilities, which can affect anyone, including those with lawful immigration status. Victims may be brought to the United States under false pretenses, promised legitimate jobs or educational opportunities, only to find themselves in exploitative situations. Others may be coerced into trafficking situations due to financial hardship, lack of social support, or other forms of manipulation. Legal status does not protect individuals from the tactics traffickers use, such as psychological coercion, physical abuse, manipulation, and threats to their families. Traffickers often target people who are in vulnerable situations, including those seeking better economic opportunities, fleeing violence, or trying to support their families. Human trafficking can affect anyone, regardless of their legal status. This knowledge helps create comprehensive support systems and legal protections for all survivors, ensuring they receive the help they need to leave their situations and rebuild their lives. #HumanTrafficking #EndHumanTrafficking #BreakTheMyth
