As a feature of transnational organised crime, the problem of human trafficking is a serious and growing one that requires transnational solutions involving both government and non-government organisations. The UN Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children, is an important step forward. The seminar will provide perspectives on the problem, both globally and in South Africa, as well as review the international approaches to trafficking.
