Stop Trafficking January 2025

Stop Trafficking!

Survivors of human trafficking often have a criminal record for crimes they were forced to commit while a victim. The January 2025 issue of Stop Trafficking! focuses on the reality of having a criminal record and processes that may help survivors to clear their name.

The non-punishment principle, a victim centre approach, is instrumental in protecting trafficking victims from being punished for illegal acts they committed as a direct result of being trafficked. The principle is referenced in the United Nations Human Trafficking Protocol and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Recommended Principles and Guidelines on Human Rights and Human Trafficking.

Articles in the January 2025 issue of Stop Trafficking! include:

  • Long Term Impact of Criminal Arrests and Convictions on Trafficking Survivors
  • The Non-Punishment Principle
  • Human Trafficking and the Rights of Trafficked People
  • Survey of Enactment of the Non-Punishment Principle.
