Summary
The Manual is a guide-book for the Trainers on conducting training programmes for prosecutors. The aim of the manual is to provide the best training, empowerment and capacity building for the prosecutors in addressing the issues of human trafficking in all its dimensions. This should help in empowering the prosecutors in attending to their duties with a high degree of professionalism. This manual provides a train-the-trainer workshop format. The activities outlined in this manual explore the concepts and information contained in Indian laws and international conventions related to confronting human trafficking. It uses an active learning approach and legal techniques. The manual is composed of four main parts: Part One: This part contains fifteen activities that puts forward the rationale for anti-trafficking work and equips trainers with technical information and techniques of imparting that information. Each exercise is described in detail so that they can be reproduced easily in future trainings. They review the definitions and concepts around trafficking and suggest methods for prosecutors to counter trafficking through case laws, fact sheets and handouts. Part Two: This part contains a sample session that trainees can use when training prosecutors in the field. It describes a four-hour session that can be presented to a group of prosecutors. Part Three: This part contains 24 participant handouts that can be used in the two day training. These handouts include case laws, check-lists, laws related to trafficking, quizzes and questionnaires on the trafficked and the process of trafficking and ideas for court-craft. Part Four: This part contains a catalogue of selected resources containing bare acts, guidelines for TOTs, research resources, guides, training manuals and useful websites. The annexes use samples of additional training exercises.
