A workshop was held Monday at UJ Faculty of Law on Human Trafficking and the Human Trafficking Prevention Act No. 9 of 2009.
The workshop was organized in collaboration with the Justice Center for Legal Aid and aims to educate college students on this crime to qualify them to spread awareness among 10th grade public-school students in remote areas on this issue.
Experts at the workshop stated that Jordan has experienced a limited number of human trafficking cases considering security challenges in the region.
According to them, Jordan is in the top tier of countries that combat human trafficking; the third largest criminal industry in the world.
Attended by 50 students, the workshop comprised lectures on the national and international definition of the crime, elements of human trafficking, responsibilities and work mechanism of the Anti-Human Trafficking Unit, labor rights as well as case studies of human trafficking.
