Gender Studies (MIGS)
announces the publication of
awareness-raising leaflets and posters on trafficking in women. This

in human beings is a large- scale human rights violation which can take
diverse forms including trafficking for sexual exploitation, and forced labour.

raise awareness among students, policy makers and government officials, as
well as the general public about trafficking in women and specifically
questions relating to the following:
- a. What is human trafficking and when does it occur?
- b. How many women are victims of trafficking worldwide?
- c. Why are women vulnerable to human
trafficking ?
- d. Don't women choose to take
these risks?
- e. What lives do trafficked women have
?
- f. What be done to prevent and
combat human trafficking ?
- g. Where to seek more information
about trafficking in human beings in Cyprus.
