New IOM and UNODC guidance to help combat human trafficking through data
More news about the topic
The International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) have today published the first global technical guidance for administrative data on trafficking in persons.
An acute lack of quality evidence and research for the development of national policies and programmes to combat human trafficking is a major setback facing Governments and other counter-trafficking actors in mobilizing evidence to inform targeted interventions.
This is largely due to the lack of available data on human trafficking, which is a complex, clandestine crime designed to be undetected. Where data on human trafficking do exist, the data sources are often diverse, mostly disconnected and limited in scope, creating silos and leading to fragmented knowledge.
Through the International Classification Standard for Trafficking in Persons Administrative Data (ICS-TIP) and its accompanying guidance manual, Making each case count, IOM and UNODC aim to support governments and other counter-trafficking stakeholders to address these challenges.
