Stop Human Trafficking: A Guide for NGOs

Stop Human Trafficking: A Guide for NGOs

Pamela Fields | 2018

Abstract

The compounding circumstances surrounding human trafficking create an unstable climate in which there exists a lack of an accepted definition, a lack of collaboration, and a lack of remedy. My research on the subject led me to recognize how even the most well-intentioned NGOs lack sufficient resources to make a significant reduction in the number of victims submersed in the problem. This prompted me to create the Global Collaborative Solutions to Human Trafficking 4P Model to serve as a guide for the four key stakeholder communities. This model is comprised of Protection, Prosecution, Prevention and Partnership and is used to effectively understand and subsequently deal with this complex problem. The manuscript incorporates the use of the International Futures (IFs) Model to serve as a centralized data source for all stakeholders, which allows them to model potential scenarios to guide decision-making and aid in developing effective strategies. This pivotal work has significant potential to benefit states, governments, and allied stakeholders throughout the United States and across the world. This manuscript attempts to serve as a guide for the novice and the seasoned expert of human trafficking, fostering learning, understanding, and a motivation to “do” something.
