The 2018 UNODC Global Report on Trafficking in Persons is the fourth of its kind mandated by the General Assembly through the 2010 United Nations Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in Persons. It covers 142 countries and provides an overview of patterns and flows of trafficking in persons at global, regional and national levels, based primarily on trafficking cases detected between 2014 and 2016. As UNODC has been systematically collecting data on trafficking in persons for more than a decade, trend information is presented for a broad range of indicators.
Reporting in violence against women and girls is a manual for journalists published in 2019 by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. This handbook has two main objectives: to provide journalists with recommendations and examples of good practice, on the one hand, and to encourage their ongoing reflection on the profession, on the other.
This document presents a study on conflict related violence against women transforming transition. By comparatively assessing three conflict-affected jurisdictions (Liberia, Northern Ireland, and Timor-Leste), Conflict-Related Violence Against Women empirically and theoretically expands current understanding of the form and nature of conflict-time harms impacting women. The “violences” that occur in conflict beyond strategic rapeare first identified. Employing both a disaggregated and an aggregated approach, relations between forms of violence within and across each context’s pre-, mid-, and postconflict phase are then assessed, identifying connections and distinctions in violence. Swaine highlights a wider spectrum of conflict-related violence against women than is currently acknowledged. She identifies a range of forces that simultaneously push open and close down spaces for addressing violence against women through post-conflict transitional justice. The book proposes that in the aftermath of conflict, a transformation rather than a transition is required if justice is to play a role in preventing gendered violence before conflict and its appearance during and after conflict.
