We are delighted to announce the launch of a series of new publications resulting from the EU funded project DemandAT. The launch of this final set of publications in the project's Working Paperand Policy Briefseries also marks the conclusion of the project. All publications are accessible via the DemandAT website.
Accompanying the launch of the final publications, we are launching a series of three short videos summarising key results of the research. Part 1presents overall findings as regards the concept of demand, its potential and limitations.
We are delighted to announce the publication of the most recent DemandAT working paper and an associated policy brief examining the role of the security sector role in addressing the demand-side of human trafficking, written by a team led by Dr. Stela Haxhi from the Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF). The research underlying the working paper and the policy brief involved desk research, a comparative survey of key security sector actors across Europe as well as case studies of four European countries (the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United Kingdom) and was carried out between 2014 and 2017.
Petra Ostergren at Lund University has developed a new typology for assessing, evaluating and comparing prostitution policies. The 10th DemandAT working paper 'From Zero-Tolerance to Full Integration: Rethinking Prostitution Policies' is available here.
We are delighted to publish the 9th DemandAT working paper: 'Learning from Demand-Side Campaigns Against Trafficking in Human Beings: Evaluation as knowledge-generator and project-improver' by Norbert Cyrus and Dita Vogel, University of Bremen. See further here
The DemandAT project included research on the impact of demand-side campaigns to tackle human trafficking. In the course of this work we discovered a surprising lack of evaluation of anti-trafficking campaigns. Working together with stakeholders the project has produced this manual to assist stakeholders in designing campaigns.
