Myanmar to introduce new victim-centred human trafficking system

Xinhua, March 7, 2015 Adjust font size:

Myanmar's Central Body for Suppression of Trafficking in Persons (CB-STP) under the Ministry of Home Affairs will introduce a system focused on a new, victim- centred approach to the members of Anti-Human Trafficking Police Force, official sources said Saturday.

Police will receive training on the victim-centred approach to human-trafficking cases at a workshop from March 10 to 13 in Nay Pyi Taw.

The three-day workshop will be organized by CB-STP in cooperation with an advisory firm.

Meanwhile, the central body is rewriting the current Anti- Trafficking in Persons Law.

According to official figures, the number of human trafficking cases from 2006 to 2014 reached 1,123 nationwide, with the majority of victims from Myanmar's northeastern Shan state.

Between January and February, the authorities exposed 13 cases involving 79 victims. Endi
