It focuses on responses to the victims of trafficking as this is the area in which WAG has the most room to enact effective, rights-based policies. To this end, the report surveys the literature and legal instruments on trafficking in human beings. Much has been written about trafficking, much more needs to be said about trafficking in Wales. The literature reveals a clear lack of understanding about the issues involved in trafficking. For example, the relationships between trafficking and smuggling, forced labour and irregular work, the link between prostitution and trafficking, the link between marijuana consumption and child forced labour. There are gaps in knowledge over issues of identification of victims of trafficking and responses once identified as well as specialist provisions of services, despite the recent creation of a refuge for trafficked women in Wales. Gender-specific and child-friendly policy initiatives are at the heart of effective enforcement and protection strategies. These need to be tailored to the particular needs of local communities in Wales. Strategies that reflect the different landscapes – rural, urban, language, cultural – all require co-ordination in a national (Welsh) centre for trafficking. From that multi-agency point, training, awareness-raising, advocacy and many other services can be provided and tailored for the needs of the people in Wales.

Author: Watson, Joyce Title: Knowing No Boundaries: Local Solutions to an International Crime Summary: The trafficking of women and children both from abroad into Wales and internally across the country is a crime which surrounds us all; there is no region in Wales which is exempt from the shadowy tentacles of this inhumane activity. calls for the establishment of a post which would bring together the knowledge and expertise of relevant authorities such as the police, social services and the UK Border Agency, the Children‟s Commissioner for Wales and voluntary organisations. Far from there being a uniform picture of trafficking across the country, each region and community has its own identity and circumstances which affect the trafficking trade. The holder of the new post would be responsible for developing community-specific strategies which reflect an area‟s landscape – rural, urban, linguistic and cultural and raise awareness of local people so more traffickers and victims could be uncovered.
