Summary
The goal this report has set itself is to formulate a synthetic but comprehensiveoverview and to examine the issue from a human rights perspective on order tounderstand the complex human, social and political problems that underlie thedrama of those who are victims of trafficking in human beings especially for thepurpose of sexual exploitation, in particular within the European Union context.The manual, strives to offer a series of analytical educational tools for teachersto enable them to reflect on the dramatic and complex nature of trafficking. Theperspective that has been adopted is one that promotes the protection of humanrights and at the same time provides an interdisciplinary key featuring the manyprofiles that concur and are embodied in trafficking. Today, human rights are notsolely promoted by the international community and associations promotinghuman rights but also by the European Union which stresses the importance ofapplying an integrated approach in combating trafficking. The goal of the Manualis to raise young people’s awareness on such issues and, at the same time, offera way out to the thousands of victims that are exploited and enslaved. Pleasenote that all human rights legislation and even the acts of recommendationcontained in the Manual are for the most part available from the InternationalLegal Pocket Compilation. It is therefore advised to integrate the reading of theManual by also consulting the other part entitled International Legal PocketCompilation.
