Human Trafficking
Cursusdoel
After completing the course students are able to
- demonstrate a deep level of understanding of the complexity of human trafficking: how this differs from human smuggling and the implications it has for trafficked victims;
- explain and critique the methods and techniques used to determine the extent of human trafficking and explain why it is so difficult to accurately measure the phenomenon;
- describe, compare and contrast perspectives which contribute to the existence of human trafficking;
- compare and describe patterns of trafficking, those who fall prey to traffickers and the markets in which they are exploited in different countries and regions of the world;
- demonstrate an understanding of the process of trafficking and those who recruit, transfer and exploit trafficked persons – from individual traffickers to networks and organized criminal enterprises;
- identify less common forms of human trafficking, such as trafficking in child soldiers or for organ removal, and argue whether, and under what conditions are these patterns of human trafficking;
- define and discuss strategies to prevent human trafficking and aid trafficked victims.
Vakinhoudelijk
Human trafficking and other forms of forced labor have been identified in over 180 countries in the world. Patterns of trafficking – the victims, traffickers and markets of exploitation differ across countries and regions of the world. To understand these differences, one must examine the phenomenon from the perspectives of sociology, anthropology, criminology, development and gender studies.
We examine which persons are more likely to fall prey to traffickers and how the trafficking experience impacts their lives, health and safety. Further study will focus on the traffickers and their organizations – who they are and what is known about their modus operandi, how they recruit, transport and exploit their victims, but also how they protect their operations.
Global patterns of trafficking and new forms of trafficking will be discussed. We will discuss organ trafficking and the use of child soldiers, and examine whether or not child pornography, child sex tourism, mail order brides and illegal adoptions are forms of trafficking.
The course ends with a discussion of organizations that are active in the fight against human trafficking and what measures – from prevention, victim protection, prosecution and partnerships – are necessary to eradicate human trafficking.
Format
The course is organized in a seminar format. Lectures will be based on the assigned readings but also draw upon the research and personal experiences of the instructor. All students are expected to actively participate in class discussions. Students will give a presentation, either individually or in a group, depending upon the topic being presented.
Students may want to do in-depth research on the topic of human trafficking in their home country, or may elect to focus on a specific topic such as organ trafficking. Students will be graded on the content and their presentation skills.
