As part of its monthly Protection Thursday program, The National Human Rights Council (CNDH) organizes an online symposium on “Victims of Human Trafficking... Limits of Support” on Thursday 24 February 2022, starting at 7 pm on the CNDH’s Facebook page.

This event aims to contribute to promoting Law No. 27-14 related to combating human trafficking. This law stipulates that human trafficking is a distinct crime. It provides guarantees for victims and increases punishment for perpetrators.

This symposium is in line with the publication of the first annual national report of the National Commission for the Coordination of Measures to Combat and Prevent Human Trafficking which was presented on Tuesday 15 February 2002, in Rabat, Morocco.

In this symposium, participants will read Law No. 27-14, present the experience of a Moroccan NGO in contributing to support victims of human trafficking, and review the leading models at the international level.

Article 4 of Law No. 27-14 provides for significant protective measures similar to the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons Especially Women and Children supplementing the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime. These measures are reflected in providing the necessary possible protection for victims, healthcare, psychosocial support, legal assistance, etc.
