Abstract
"The United Nations has declared 25th November International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. Gender-based violence is devastating the lives of millions of women throughout the world, as their rights and dignity are denied and violated in horrific ways that include rape and sexual violence, domestic violence and the denial of their freedom and right to participate in society. This year, on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, the Irish Commission for Justice and Social Affairs (ICJSA), a Commission of the Irish Catholic Bishops’ Conference, wishes to highlight in a particular way the issue of human trafficking and the devastating impact this is having on the lives of its victims here in Ireland and throughout the world. Trafficking in people is now one of the most widespread forms of international organised crime after the global trade in illegal arms and drugs. This crime is all the more serious because its hidden nature frequently allows the traffickers to operate undetected. The Conference of European Justice and Peace Commissions, of which ICJSA is a member, has chosen ‘Working Together to Stop Human Trafficking’ as the theme for its Concerted Action for 2009, in recognition of the need for international cooperation to end this form of modern slavery."
