Asia ACTs. (2009). Aspirations and Explorations: Good Practices of the Campaign Against Child Trafficking in Southeast Asia. 88 p. Asia Against Child Trafficking (Asia ACTs), a broad network of more than 125 different NGOs from seven Southeast Asian countries campaigned together to protect children from trafficking. For years, the network has made efforts to influence those in authority to ensure the proper treatment and protection of child victims of trafficking by the State. These years of campaigning have been very instructive for all members of Asia ACTs, which took part in a joint exercise to identify good practice of the Asia ACTs campaign against child trafficking. Hence this publication presenting good practices of the campaign against child trafficking from 5 countries in Southeast Asia. http://www.childtrafficking.com/Docs/asia_acts_09_exploration_0710.pdf
IDEIF y DIVINTRAP-PNP (2009) Las rutas de la trata de personas desde sus víctimas. 49 p. Esta publicación, diseñada por la ONG peruana IDEIF (Instituto de Estudios por la Infancia y la Familia) y la División de Investigación de delitos de trata de personas de la Policía Nacional de Perú (DIVINTRAP – PNP), constituye un esfuerzo conjunto por conocer algo más de una problemática tan compleja y tan deshumanizante como lo es la trata de personas. La publicación recoge los aspectos conceptuales y normativos de la trata de personas y, a través de la selección de casos de víctimas rescatadas por la DIVINTRAP –principalmente menores de edad – permite un acercamiento a la trata de personas en el Perú. Asimismo, visualiza algunas de las modalidades y rutas que los tratantes vienen utilizando, destacando el trabajo especializado y destacado de la Policía Nacional en el rescate de las víctimas. En este marco, el texto permite presentar la trata de personas como un problema cercano y latente en Perú que requiere visualizar el tema de manera comprometida por los medios de comunicación a nivel nacional y la coordinación de todos los actores sociales y políticos para su erradicación. Igualmente una mirada de las rutas de la Trata de personas desde los testimonios de sus víctimas permitirá definir estrategias de contención en los lugares de origen, pasando por lo de tránsito y concluyendo en los destinos de explotación. http://www.childtrafficking.com/Docs/ideif_09_rutas_personas_0710.pdf
