Even though 79% of the surveyed students claim they have heard the term ``human trafficking{\crq}q, only 14% can define this term accurately. On the basis of the information obtained, a conclusion was arrived at that the level of information about human trafficking among students at Kolín-district secondary schools is inadequate. The students themselves said in their opinions that they did not have enough information about human trafficking, thus confirming this fact. The benefit and sense of this dissertation was to map the still uncharted territory of Kolín-district secondary schools from the viewpoint of human trafficking and to conduct a lecture. Compared to other issues, the prevention of human trafficking is neglected. Therefore, lectures should be conducted on this issue, which should even be integrated into the curriculum, in particular in the subjects of citizenship and the basics of social sciences.

ABSTRACT WOMEN TRAFFICKING IN TURKEY: INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AND INTERVENTION Arslan, Selin MS., Department of Gender and Women&rsquo / s Studies Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Yusuf Ziya &Ouml / zcan December, 2006, 217 pages. This study has focused on analyzing the women trafficking in Turkey and the international cooperation and interventions which Turkey has done in years between 2004 and 2006. While mentioning efforts on combating human trafficking and international cooperation and interventions, the support of International Organization for Migration (IOM), the leading intergovernmental organization working against trafficking, which Turkey became member in 2004, should be mentioned as well. This study is trying to show the efforts of Turkey in the situation of combating with an organized crime, a gross human rights violation-especially after becoming member of the International Organization for Migration. Before discussing the situation and efforts in Turkey on counter trafficking the realization of women&rsquo / s rights the emergence of the women&rsquo / s discourse within the international arena and the international debate on trafficking especially after the Trafficking in Persons Report (TIP) have been introduced and discussed in detail. Such a beginning facilitated conceptualization of (1) the evolution of the emergence of conscious on trafficking crime in the international arena (2) the sprout of the idea and perception of &ldquo / combating trafficking crime&rdquo / in Turkish society and (3) the transformation of the Turkish context related to trafficking issues in the light of discussions emerged by the support of IOM Turkey.

Trafficking in persons is a phenomenon that threatens not only basic human rights but also source, passage and destination countries / therefore, it rightfully draws international attention. Being a global threat, it necessitates cooperation and intervention. The aim of the thesis is to analyze anti-trafficking efforts in Turkey by focusing on a particular international initiative. To this end, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is selected as a case and its activities in Turkey are mentioned with the ultimate goal of questioning its effectiveness in the process of fighting against trafficking in persons. The thesis examines the phenomenon of trafficking in persons with a conceptual analysis by dwelling upon the objectives, function and perspective of the IOM. It concentrates on the IOM, which actively assists the Turkish government in every aspect of migration and in combating human trafficking with a particular focus on trafficking in women through the counter-trafficking program implemented in 2004. The thesis also aims at evaluating whether international and local actors take effective actions that cover both the prevention and punishment of trafficking in women, and the protection of victims&rsquo / rights. The binding international legal instrument on the subject matter, the UN Trafficking Protocol of 2000, will be referred to and different approaches to the evaluation of the problem will be mentioned so as to present the focal points of the varying goals.

Purpose: The overarching purpose of this research paper is to broaden the understanding of the rehabilitation and reintegration of trafficking victims by illustrating and explaining common rehabilitation and reintegration processes of Burmese trafficking victims, girls and women, in Yangon, Myanmar. As part of that overarching purpose, this paper also aims to analyse how and if the victims’ human rights are being properly upheld. The paper highlights the problem of the state’s actions of upholding human security and the right to possess protection against modern slavery, with specific focus on trafficked girls or women as right holders and the state (in this case Myanmar) together with non-state responsibility-holders as duty bearers. Method: The paper is based on data derived from a field study, with the empirical material gathered through walk-along at a trafficking shelter and semi-structured interviews with several NGOs, IGOs and other actors and in Yangon, Myanmar. Analysis: In Myanmar there is a lack of shelter space and not enough focus on the long-lasting impact of trauma in a trafficked person's life. A majority of trafficking victims that escape from trafficking situations are placed in shelters operated by the Department of Social Welfare (DSW-shelters) for a few days before being repatriated to their families and/or home community. This method, i.e., the repatriation of victims to their respective home community, is cost efficient, but not always in the best interest of the victims as it increases the risk of re-trafficking. Some victims are offered help from reintegration programs where vocational training is a common component, but little other effort is made to rehabilitate the victim from their psychological trauma. Many victims that seek restorative justice within the court system do not enjoy a fair trial, as procedures are unclear, and corruption is common amongst both judges and prosecutors. The lack of restorative justice is another factor that hinders the victims rehabilitating from their trauma as it decreases the chance to fully reintegrating the victims into society on a long-term basis. Finally, the enforcement of anti-trafficking laws is weakened by the fact that the Myanmar Anti-Trafficking Police Force is understaffed, undereducated and overworked.

The thesis topic ``Requirements for telephone crisis intervention for victims of human trafficking{\crq}q was chosen because of the author{\crq}s personal experience. The thesis aims to map out a comprehensive picture of a specialised helpline for trafficked persons and to compare its requirements with those of the helpline for the general public. Human trafficking is a criminal act which entails an abusive breach of human rights. Recent expansion in Europe is often connected with a specific migration situation, so it is a current topic. Human trafficking is widespread throughout the whole of the Czech Republic, and as the victim is prevented from moving freely and is torn from their familiar surroundings, it is important that they have unlimited access to a contact. For that reason, initial contact with victims of human trafficking is often made through telephone crisis intervention, which must be highly professional. The working theory deals with telephone crisis intervention, human trafficking, workers and clients. It explains TCI in the context of clarification of formats and different types of services. Online counselling is described further, help-line working methods are clarified and the basic service principles are outlined. Another area of focus is help-line workers and their training, cooperation and supervision. The next chapter concerns human trafficking and explores legislative problems, the human trafficking mechanism, forms, routes, causes and consequences. The final aspect is clientele, and explains the use of the term trafficked person and victim of human trafficking, and describes the risks to clients who contact help-lines. The aims of this thesis were to clarify the characteristics of telephone crisis intervention for issues of human trafficking; to compare the conditions of a worker dealing with specialised telephone crisis intervention with general telephone crisis intervention for the whole population; to map out the working procedures within telephone crisis intervention; to map out the working procedures within online counselling. The author believes that aims of the thesis were met. Qualitative research was used to achieve the aims of the thesis. Data was obtained through interviews conducted by the author. The data gathering technique used was to conduct a semi-structured interview with open question. The interviews lasted for approximately one hour and were composed of two parts. The research sample included two groups of participants {--} workers providing telephone crisis intervention services. The first group was made up of 10 workers who work on specialised help-lines directed at human trafficking. The second group was comprised of 10 workers providing telephone crisis interventions for the general populace. The author formed three hypotheses based on the results of this qualitative research. There is the same need to complete the basic course of crisis intervention for consultants working on the ordinary help lines as for the consultants working on specialised help lines. Consultant on specialised help lines is more focused on providing a service of legal information than the consultant working on the ordinary help lines. Younger help-line consultants on the help lines for victims of trafficing don't see exactly the specifics of that line. The author believes that the work could be useful for organisations providing specialised help-lines for victims of human trafficking.
