Katarina Schwarz: Slavery is not a crime in almost half the countries in the world – how can we change that?

Modern slavery, human trafficking, law, intersections with migration and immigration issues and policies as well as some emerging trends and concerns in the anti-trafficking space are the keywords of the lecture delivered by Katarina Schwarz. In this lecture, you will hear about the way international legal frameworks govern the issues of trafficking and slavery, you will review fundamental definitions of these practices, and look at domestic legislation and victim protection.

This lecture was part of the 9th EMN Educational Seminar on Migration 2023 entitled "Protection of Migrants in Vulnerable Situations". All podcasts and presentations from the seminar are available at www.emnseminar.sk.

The seminar is organised by the International Organization for Migration Slovakia as the coordinator of the Slovak EMN National Contact Point. This activity is funded by the European Union and co-funded by the Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic.
