EU Network of National Rapporteurs and Equivalent Mechanisms against trafficking in human beings
As from 2021, the Human Rights Initiatives Unit acted as the National Rapporteur or Equivalent Mechanism on matters related to Human Trafficking. It has represented the Human Rights Directorate on several international events organised by the EU Anti-Trafficking Coordinator, the Council of Europe and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE)
The Human Rights Initiatives Unit attended a discussion forum organised by the OSCE in Malta in collaboration with the Ministry for Foreign and European Affairs and Trade (MFET), on the prevention of trafficking for labour exploitation in supply chains with a special focus on the role of the government, private sector and current legislative developments in the EU and globally.
Practitioners and experts from the OSCE and Malta were invited to contribute to the exchange of views and experiences on the topic in view of the identification of areas for action that may enrich the further dialogue on the topic.
Council of Europe MENA Regional Office in Tunisia
The Council of Europe MENA Region Simulation, conducted for the first time at the regional level, focused on combatting trafficking in human beings in migrant roads. Each of these simulations covered a specific theme with relevant training.
The regional simulation involved all national and international stakeholders on combatting trafficking in human beings from the 15 participating countries, including Malta, a troupe of actors playing the role of the alleged victims and a group of experts (focal points) in charge of managing the simulation and of evaluating the work of professionals.
