In this webinar we will hear from four global experts on human trafficking about how the principle of non-punishment can be used to protect victims of trafficking who are detained for migration-related offences.
- What is the principle of non-punishment and how does it relate to immigration detention?
- How can civil society organisations engage with international organisations to protect victims of trafficking?
- International standards on the non-punishment of victims of trafficking already exist – but are they being effectively used to prevent the detention of trafficked migrants and refugees?
- What can we learn from the ASEAN region where the principle of non-punishment has been integrated into national legislation?
- What does the new UK Illegal Migration Bill and the withdrawal of protection under the Modern Slavery Act mean for victims of trafficking in the UK?
- What are the global trends in protecting victims of trafficking from migration-related detention?
