11. HOW DO WE OPERATIONALIZE THE DEFINITION OF TRAFFICKING IN THE UNITED NATIONS PROTOCOL?
ORGANIZER
Gillian Blackell, Status of Women Canadablackellg@swc-cfc.gc.ca
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this workshop is to present some of the current practices related to prosecuting traffickers and to speculate, based on current practices, on possible challenges in operationalizing the new definition of trafficking in persons. Related to the operationalization of
the definition are questions concerning the identification of trafficking victims, the resolution of competing law enforcement and immigration interests, the need to provide protection to trafficking victims etc.
It is hoped that by examining the current process in light of the new definition some research gaps might be identified that would relate directly to an emerging need for developing further government policy in this area.
PRESENTERS
Calvin Barry, Crown Prosecutor
Gillian Blackell, Status of Women Canada
Audry Macklin, University of Toronto
Robin Pike, British Columbia Ministry for Child and Family Development
Josée Therien, Royal Canadian Mounted Police
