Trafficking In Women, Girls and Boys. Key Issues for Population and Development Programmes

---

This UNFPA publication is the official report of the Consultative Meeting on Trafficking in Women and Children held in Bratislava, Slovak Republic, from 2–4 October 2002. The cover’s minimalist design of white and gold dots against a brown background visually evokes themes of data, populations, and individuals who are often rendered invisible in trafficking statistics. The report frames trafficking in persons not only as a criminal and human rights issue, but as a critical population and development concern with direct links to poverty, gender inequality, migration, reproductive health, and HIV/AIDS. It synthesizes expert presentations and country experiences to analyze root causes, demand factors, and the specific vulnerabilities of women, girls, and boys to different forms of exploitation, including sexual exploitation, forced labor, and forced marriage. Key issues addressed include the health consequences for survivors, gaps in national legislation and service provision, and the need for rights-based, gender-sensitive approaches within population and development programming. The document outlines recommendations for UNFPA and its partners, emphasizing prevention through education and poverty reduction, protection and comprehensive health services for survivors, and the integration of anti-trafficking measures into broader reproductive health, gender, and youth programs. Intended for UN agencies, development practitioners, policymakers, and NGOs, this report provides a strategic framework for situating anti-trafficking responses within sustainable development and public health agendas.
