- Summary
- Overview on Austria: This summary is based
on the country report for Austria, which was compiled in conjunction with
project “Human Rights and Trafficking in Women and Young People in Europe.
An Educational Toolkit for Teachers and Students.” For this report, twelve
interviews were conducted with stakeholders representing the police, social
services, administration and science. Moreover, existing literature pertaining to
the subject matter was integrated into the report. The focus is on the trafficking
in women and young people for the purpose of sexual exploitation. However,
humans are also trafficked in Austria for other purposes, for instance to exploit
them in jobs such as domestic servants, geriatric care, agricultural day jobs or
as panhandlers working the streets.
Overview on Italy: In the last decade, Italy has been the focus of an analysis on trafficking in human
beings for the purpose of sexual exploitation. A number of different disciplines
have studied this issue, that represents a fundamental field of intervention of
social workers, the police, and the judiciary committed to help victims and to
repress such criminal conduct.
Despite the greater research and the more numerous moments of public
confrontation on the theme, the phenomenon, in Italy, remains one that is
difficult to monitor since its evolution is constant, and any in-depth knowledge of
its actual dimension and operability are still remote.
Overview on Poland: This report (summary of report) , which is a part of the edition “Trafficking in
women and youths in Europe - educational handbook”, describes trafficking in
people and ancillary phenomena in our country, Poland.
The Report is written from a practical point of view, by the workers of the La
Strada Foundation against Trafficking in People and Slavery, which has been
counteracting trafficking in people for over ten years and aiding victims of this
crime in Poland. To prepare it, we also made use of interviews with experts
working against trafficking in people. This includes representatives of the police,
border guards, crown attorneys and non-government organisations.
We are very grateful to them for their cooperation and donated time.
