What impact is the campaign having on the protection of human rights?
Research paper:
For this assessment you will be required to analyse a contemporary human rights campaign:
Awareness Against Human Trafficking was founded in 2010 by a passionate group of lawyers, missionaries and humanitarians under the leadership of Radoslaw Malinowski who observed that Kenya had become a hub of human trafficking in East and Central Africa. These people sought to bring awareness to Kenya to end the criminal activities of human traffickers and bring justice to the victims. Since then, HAART has worked to fight human trafficking through a multi-disciplinary approach.
HAART staff and volunteers include professional and passionate people who have degrees in law, psychology and public health, social work, education and international development among others.
THE 4PS PARADIGM
HAART uses the UN Four Ps Strategy to combat trafficking in persons, but you must assign only one to yourself. You will use your research, critical and analytical skills to evaluate the work Haart are doing in that particular area of activism.
1. Prevention
2. Protection
3. Prosecution
4. Partnership.
The particular area I have chosen is protection.
