Abstract

This second part of a literature review on the trafficking of women and children for sexual exploitation examines some policy responses to the problem and the dilemmas faced by practitioners. There are a number of strategies and tactics adopted by different countries in tackling trafficking. The direction of these policies depends on the emphasis determined by the political concerns involved. Overall, four guidelines first introduced at the 2004 International Police Executive Symposium should be added to the U.N. Convention Against Transnational Organised Crime and its Protocols. Although they have yet to be adopted, these are sound organizing principles that should also be reflected in local partnership strategies.
