PHAP to host WHS consultation on trafficking together with IOM and Caritas

On 18 June 2015, PHAP will host an online briefing and consultation in collaboration with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and Caritas Internationalis on "Trafficking in persons in times of crisis" in support of the World Humanitarian Summit.

This event will feature:

• A discussion and Q&A with Dr. Maria Grazia Giammarinaro, Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons, especially women and children
• A presentation of the findings of the research carried out by IOM on the manifestations and responses to trafficking in persons in times of crises in the MENA region, with a focus on Iraq and Libya
• A presentation of the action research on trafficking in persons in conflict and post-conflict situations carried out by Caritas
• The possibility for participants to provide their views on how humanitarian action can better meet the challenges related to trafficking in persons in emergency contexts

This event builds on an onsite discussion on the same topic organized as a side event during the Human Rights Council in Geneva in June 2015.
