On Wednesday 5 December in the European Parliament, key stakeholders, including EU Anti-Trafficking Coordinator, Ms Vassiliadou, will comment on the realities of combating trafficking.

To mark the 6th EU Anti-Trafficking Day, the Cyprus EU Presidency and the European Commission are organising the conference 'Working together towards the eradication of trafficking in human beings: The Way Forward'

Do human rights offer real protection? Does it help victims of human trafficking to define their case as a violation of human rights? Such questions will be examined and debated at the university of Antwerp on 19 January 2012.
