Summary
This Paper presents the joint position of Save the Children Europe Group (SC) and the Separated Children in Europe Programme (SCEP) on child trafficking. More specifically, it aims to set a framework for formulating and pursuing shared advocacy goals to promote the rights of at-risk groups and trafficked children in European policy, legislation and practice. It is based on a child rights and victim-centered approach to anti-trafficking efforts and emphasizes the need for improved systems and structures for protection.
