Human trafficking should be taught in school Adapted from: Tina Santos, "Human trafficking should
be taught in school." Inquirer.net. 24 November 2007 www.humantrafficking.org/updates/819 [accessed 22ugust 2011] If this NBI chief agent had his
way, the problem of human trafficking and how not to be caught in the traffickers’
snares would be discussed among schoolchildren. "Law enforcers should go to
primary and secondary schools to educate kids, especially young girls, on
human trafficking," said Ferdinand Lavin,
chief of the National Bureau of Investigation’s Anti-Human Trafficking
Division. “The campaign should be focused on
grades five to high school because these minors are often the target of
syndicates," he added in a recent informal chat with reporters. He said
the campaign should be mounted with the help of Department of Education
officials. Studying Human Trafficking Elia Powers, Inside Higher Ed, November
28, 2007 www.insidehighered.com/news/2007/11/28/sais [accessed 22ugust 2011] As recently as 15 years ago, the
academic study of human trafficking was, for all purposes, nonexistent. In a
sign of how much times have changed, dozens of faculty members and legal

who will be lawyers, doctors, legislators and policy makers should know
something about the trafficking of persons,” said Mohamed Mattar,
executive director of the Protection Project. “There’s a demand for courses,
and every student should study it as part of the curricula.” |
