Human
trafficking should be taught in school, says NBI exec 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. 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
experts packed into Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced
International Studies Tuesday to discuss ways to turn recent interest in the
subject into material to be woven into college curriculums. “Hundreds of thousands of students
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.” |
