Events

On 14 June 2018, ICAT briefed Member States on the outcomes of the first high-level meeting of heads of United Nations and other international and regional organisations that make up ICAT, which gathered 21 out of 23 ICAT organizations in London on 2^nd May 2018.

On 13 December 2016, the Inter-Agency Coordination Group against Trafficking in Persons (ICAT) hosted a briefing for Member States to inform them of ICAT’s key outputs for 2016, which included discussion documents, tools and advocacy material. Held at UNODC Headquarters in Vienna, the briefing also marked the conclusion of the 2016 Chairmanship by UNODC. Following the briefing, Member States were given an opportunity to ask questions about the work of ICAT.

In its third year, the World Day provides an opportunity to reflect on our shared responsibility and show solidarity with those victimized. Human trafficking is a parasitic crime that feeds on vulnerability, thrives in times of uncertainty, and profits from inaction. With greater understanding and by working together, we can give trafficking victims, as well as the many children, women and men on the move vulnerable to human trafficking, a much-needed voice and a helping hand. 

To mark the second annual World Day against Trafficking in Persons, the Principals of eight ICAT agencies issued a joint statement. Together, these eight heads of organizations are urging more to be done to help the millions of women, men and children who fall victim to one of today’s most brutal human rights violations, and to join forces to improve trafficked persons' access to remedies that respond to their individual needs. This video includes statements from the following members of the ICAT: ILO, INTERPOL, IOM, OHCHR, UN Women, UNHCR, UNICRI and UNODC.
