Notes & Changes

This is an external event 

On October 27-28, FMHT will host a EU Jean Monnet Erasmus + funded interactive innovative workshop, titled “Disrupting the Human Trafficking-Migration Nexus."

By bringing together academics, practitioners, local, national, and regional policymakers, NGOs, advocates, students, first person observers, and survivors, we are interested in convening to discuss the convergence of trafficking and migration, with a particular focus on innovation that disrupts exploitation markets of vulnerable and displaced refugees.

This workshop seeks to investigate human trafficking within a broader migration framework and propose innovative solutions to disrupt trafficking and prevent humanitarian and labour right violations. We will address this from multiple perspectives, including policy, activism, and research.

Broadly, the structure of the conference will be centered upon three themes:

  • Legal Challenges – Prevention, Prosecution, and Protection

  • Private Sector Solutions – Combatting Human Trafficking with Data Analytics and Disruptive Technologies

  • Exploring the Intersectionality of Human Trafficking and Migration – Recommendations for Future Policy & Research
