Child TraffickingJoin now to read essay Child TraffickingChildrens trafficking has been an issue of major concern for the international community in recent years. Trafficking in persons, the illegal practice of procuring human beings for unpaid work in physically abusive settings, has reached large scales lately, with figures such as 1.2 million children annually being transported from poverty-stricken countries to wealthier nations. The trafficking of children often involves exploitation of the parents extreme poverty. The latter may sell children to traffickers in order to pay off debts or gain income, or they may be deceived concerning the prospects of training and a better life for their children. This is increasingly prevalent in West Africa, where unfortunate children are trafficked to European nations where they are forced into slavery, prostitution, and exploitative labor in shops and factories. With this in mind, the countries of the United Nations must determine an efficient method to deal with the issue of trafficking children worldwide.
Japan, as a responsible member of the international community, has been actively working to aid children and assist in ending child trafficking. In the year 2000, Japan helped set up a child protection agency in Benin amounting $758,000. The program enacted promoted an education service for poorer people and endeavored to create alternative opportunities for families that look towards trafficking as an income source. In 2001 Japan brought forth its Yokohama Global Commitment, which called for increasing efforts to eliminate the commercial sexual exploitation of children globally. This effort was soon followed by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, which sought to bring forth an international effort to protect and promote childrens rights. Last but not least, in 2004, Japan established an Inter-Ministerial Liaison Committee, regarding measures to combat trafficking in persons, as a means of achieving close cooperation among all governments. This order promoted enacting measures speedily and
tigually strengthening the law enforcement and law enforcement community.
While Japan’s involvement in assisting and safeguarding the rights of children, and in supporting Japan’s efforts to establish a global effort of child-protection, continues to be the responsibility of the international community, an integrated Japanese approach to trafficking and child trafficking should be considered within the agenda of the 2014 JCPOA. To that end the Asian Development Bank has announced a large new initiative to combat trafficking in women. At that time, Japanese banks have invested in three major projects (including a significant expansion of the Asia-Pacific financial center that serves as a key source of funding for trafficking prevention and response), including a pilot project that has already raised almost $40 million across 24 banks.
The 2014 JCPOA also calls for a broad reexamination of international laws to ensure that women, rather than sex traffickers, are held liable for their crimes. A more general approach is to ensure that trafficking-related sexual offenses are not based solely on a lack of access to girls, rather than the fact of their trafficking. As a result, efforts should be made to strengthen legal and humanitarian frameworks to ensure that no-woman trafficking and child sex trafficking are not criminalised under Japan’s law.

In 2008, as part of our long-standing efforts on international issues, and for the better part of a decade since its implementation, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) was invited by the JCPOA to strengthen the law and strengthen Japan’s role in combating trafficking:
tigued the “Safe, Open and Accurate Way for JMPW to Combat Trafficking Through The Workplace”. We have been part of the efforts to ensure such efforts are not targeted at the individual cases within the country but rather at the large international community of international organizations and NGOs working on trafficking through the law and the courts. We have worked closely with the JAPA Commission on International Human Rights and ICHR to ensure we are part of that process.
