What is human trafficking?
When we talk about human trafficking, it concerns



Prostitution or other sexual purposes
Forced labor or services, for example. beggary
Military service in foreign countries
Removal of his organs
Very many exploited for sexual purposes. How many of the victims abducted or forced by other means, may vary from country to country. To lure or entice more common procedures for those who profit from trafficking in human beings.

In Norway, so whoever by violence, threats, abuse of a vulnerable situation or other improper conduct exploits another person or induces another person to allow himself to be used for such purposes can be punished for trafficking imprisonment up to 6 years. Serious human trafficking punishable by imprisonment up to 10 years.

This definition is in Penal Code § 257 .

"Trafficking" is a term originally denoting sales and transportation of illegal goods. It is usually about drug or arms trafficking for different purposes. In recent years, however, the term is increasingly been used to describe the sale of women and children for sexual exploitation both within countries or across borders.

The Norwegian word is trafficking or trafficking in women, men and children. Human trafficking / trafficking across borders has received the most attention, but it can also occur within a country.

Human trafficking in Norway
In Norway occurs mainly trafficking of women and minors who are exploited in prostitution or other sexual purposes. It is also trading where men are victims. False promises of a better life leads trafficked across borders. Many believe they should work in service professions, such as maid or model. Some know that they will enter the sex industry, but they do not know that they will receive little or no payment. They do not know that threats, violence, denial of freedom of movement and control of their own body can become a part of everyday life.

Many are beaten, raped, imprisoned and starved until they do as the criminals requires. Victims of human trafficking are held in an iron grip of mental and / or physical terror. Even those who walk in the street alone, and thus meet both police and support systems, so dare they often do not break out of the situation. They subdued by fear of reprisals against children in the home country and shame and despair over their own situation.

Repayment of fictitious debt
An important element within the exploitation of persons in human trafficking is what in English is called "debt bondage system" or "peonage". This means that she is exposed must repay a debt she has incurred its human agent. This is a debt that is reached as a result of transportation costs, costs for documents, bribes, transport, processing expenses and general living expenses. Often this means that she is being deprived of their passports, are then told that she is paid for and that she therefore has to work as a prostitute to pay back "purchase price".

What she "cost" when she was sold from a human trafficker to another, is also a debt she must repay and which constantly increases as a result of a separate clean system. She also gets penalty fines if she disobeyed trafficker. It is very common that traffickers use criminal fines as a way to control their victims. She manages rare to repay the debt, and will for a time be resold.

Some examples of different forms of trafficking:

Consent
The question of whether a woman has deliberately chosen or consented to prostitution, is irrelevant to the definition of human trafficking. If she has been exploited by means of violence, threats, abuse of a vulnerable situation or other improper behavior, she is by definition a victim of a crime. This emerges clearly in Article 3b of the UN protocol against human trafficking.

Norway as a recipient country
Most countries in the world are affected in different ways and at different scales of human trafficking, countries like the victims come from (origin) traveling through (transit) or where they are utilized (recipient countries). Norway is both a transit and a destination country. The majority of the victims will presumably through Eastern Europe and Central Europe, Asia and Africa. Which countries varies over time.

Hard to get an overview of the problem
Most countries are affected in different ways and at different scales. Cross-border trafficking has received the most attention, but trade also takes place within a country without borders crossed. Even though the authorities in Norway and other countries are working to get more accurate knowledge of the problem, human trafficking for several reasons a closed area for 'outsiders'. Those who serve the businesses are afraid of being found out and punished.

Will YOU exploited in prostitution, labor, begging or crime?
If you are a victim of trafficking, you can get help from the Norwegian government. Call ROSA: tel: 22331160, always open!

Call the police: tel: 02800, always open!

You can get a secure residence in a shelter or from child welfare, counseling and legal assistance to report those who have exploited you. If you want to go home, you can get help in the safe return of the organization IOM.

If you do not have a residence permit can apply for a limited residence permits for victims of trafficking or protection (asylum) in Norway.

Why do you not know the problem?
In public discussions on human trafficking after lit often figures and statistics. Norway and other countries are working to get accurate figures on how many people are exposed. No one knows the exact figures on how many victims of trafficking who are in Norway or worldwide. Why is it so difficult to determine the scope? This could be some of the reasons:

Those who profit from trafficking, concealing business not to be revealed and punished.
Those who are victims of human trafficking, says not from caused by fear of retaliation from the criminal circles, for fear of being sent home and shame of their own lives.
Those who are victims of trafficking, often have little confidence in the police and support systems.
Those who may come into contact with victims of trafficking, often do not know what they face or how to move forward to help the victims.
A prerequisite for the authorities to determine the extent is that governments come into contact with victims of trafficking, and that they are able to identify the person as a victim of trafficking.

Afraid of retaliation
Those who have been exposed to trafficking is reluctant to say anything for fear of retaliation from the criminal circles, for fear of being sent home and in addition anxiety reactions that they for example have been implicated in the sale of sex. Those exposed also seems to transmit a strong skepticism of police and experiences with a lack of support services from homeland to Norwegian conditions.

What is being done in Norway?
Immigration authorities, police and the judiciary, health care, child welfare and social services are responsible for protecting and helping women and children in Norway who have been victims of trafficking. They should also try to prevent such exploitation shall continue to spread, and working to limit the demand that creates the profitable market for trafficking.

The CPS will also arrange to have protected children so they are safe from traffickers. The police and judiciary should ensure that the investigation of such cases are given priority and that the legislation is followed, so that those who profit from this activity are detected and convicted.

Laws against trafficking
In 2003, Norway introduced a separate provision in § 224 of the then applicable criminal law on trafficking. In the new Penal Code is the provision continued in § 257 . Cases of serious trafficking is punishable by up to ten years in prison by Penal Code § 258 . Many other Norwegian law is also relevant in relation to trafficking for different purposes. For example, there is invariably a criminal offense to buy sex from anyone under 18 in Norway.

Norway participates in international cooperation to prevent and combat this serious form of criminality and human rights violations. Several NGOs in Norway and other countries are heavily involved in the work.

The international community has in recent years also adopted a number of conventions are important for combating trafficking in women and children.

The main ones are:

UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
The UN Convention on Transnational Organized Crime (in English and Norwegian) and the additional protocol on trafficking ( Palermo Protocol 2000 )
CEDAW ,
The Convention and the Optional Protocol on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography ,

ILO Convention No. 182 on the worst forms of child labor .
Norway is also working against trafficking in such Council of Europe, the CBSS and the EEA Agreement with the EU.

my plan to avoid this is to buy them but set them free to give them new clothes and some money and asks where he sold them so tell your purkken it is a good plan someone should do it
