IOM to work with China to protect trafficking victims
IOM is today hosting a four-day workshop in Beijing for senior Chinese counter-trafficking police and immigration officials to strengthen mechanisms designed to protect and assist victims of human trafficking.
The training, which is being attended by over 30 central and provincial officials from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Public Security and Civil Affairs, is part of IOM’s "Capacity Building for Migration Management (CBMM) in China" project.
Trainers from IOM, China’s Ministry of Public Security, Frontex, Germany and Portugal will share Chinese and European best practices on how to identify and assist victims of trafficking, including the provision of psycho-social and medical services.
"This training is not only designed to support Chinese frontline officers in their important work in combatting human trafficking, but also to promote better practical coordination and cooperation between Chinese and European organizations to combat cross-border
trafficking," said IOM Beijing Head of Office Par Liljert.
The training is the fourth activity of a comprehensive training approach including workshops, study tours, and research, and is designed to support the implementation of the Chinese National Plan of Action (NPA) on Combating Trafficking of Women and Children
(2008-2012) and the UN’s Palermo Protocol on combatting human trafficking.
The CBMM project seeks to promote cooperation between China and the European Union in the field of migration through the exchange of expertise, information and personnel. It is principally financed by the European Commission, with co-funding from Italy and
the United States. It is implemented in close partnership with the Chinese Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Public Security, Commerce, and Civil Affairs.
