Novel Strategies to Fight Child Sexual Exploitation and Human Trafficking Crimes and Protect their Victims

Descrizione del progetto

Un approccio incentrato sulla vittima per aiutare le vittime della tratta

Il numero di persone, compresi i bambini, che cadono vittime del traffico di esseri umani e di sfruttamento e abuso sessuale in tutto il mondo continua a crescere, nonostante l’attenzione e le risorse crescenti a livello internazionale. In Europa, le donne e le ragazze sfruttate sessualmente rappresentano la maggior parte delle vittime del traffico di esseri umani. Il progetto HEROES, finanziato dall’UE, approfondirà in che modo utilizzare gli ultimi progressi tecnologici e strategie per prevenire e combattere lo sfruttamento e l’abuso sessuale di minori e il traffico di esseri umani, sostenere le indagini su questi crimini e facilitare la protezione delle loro vittime. Svilupperà un approccio ambizioso, interdisciplinare, internazionale e incentrato sulle vittime. HEROES intende stabilire un contributo coordinato con le forze dell’ordine per affrontare le esigenze specifiche delle vittime e fornire una protezione che attualmente è spesso limitata dalla mancanza di coordinamento tra le parti interessate.

Obiettivo

Trafficking of human beings (THB) and child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSA/CSE) are two big problems in our society. Inadvertently, new information and communication technologies (ICTs) have provided a space for these problems to develop and take new forms, made worse by the lockdown caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, technical and legal tools available to stakeholders that prevent, investigate, and assist victims – such as law enforcement agencies (LEAs), prosecutors, judges, and civil society organisations (CSOs) – fail to keep up with the pace at which criminals use new technologies to continue their abhorrent acts. Furthermore, assistance to victims of THB and CSA/CSE is often limited by the lack of coordination among these stakeholders. In this sense, there is a clear and vital need for joint work methodologies and the development of new strategies for approaching and assisting victims. In addition, due to the cross-border nature of these crimes, harmonisation of legal frameworks from each of the affected countries is necessary for creating bridges of communication and coordination among all those stakeholders to help victims and reduce the occurrence of these horrendous crimes. To address these challenges, the HEROES project comes up with an ambitious, interdisciplinary, international, and victim-centred approach. The HEROES project is structured as a comprehensive solution that encompasses three main components: Prevention, Investigation and Victim Assistance. Through these components, our solution aims to establish a coordinated contribution with LEAs by developing an appropriate, victim-centred approach that is capable of addressing specific needs and providing protection. The HEROES project’s main objective is to use technology to improve the way in which help and support can be provided to victims of THB and CSA/CSE.
