Human trafficking is the fastest growing criminal activity, victimizing millions of women,
children and men all over the world as it knows no border. Almost every country of the world is
affected either as a source, transit, and/or destination country for women, children, and men
trafficked for the purposes of sexual or labour exploitation, including domestic servitude and
bonded labour. There are laws that provides the protection of anti-trafficking victims specifically
the RA 10364, Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2012.
The measures provided by the government to protect the victims of anti-trafficking and prevent
anti-trafficking in and across the country are programs, laws, penalties, etc. such as the
Advocacy and Communications Committee (ADVOCOM), 1343 Action-line against Human
Trafficking, Online Legal Counseling, and more programs. Laws and penalties related to Anyi-
trafficking as well and specifically the RA 10364.
Do the Philippine government’s anti-trafficking measures actually prevent the soaring number
of anti-trafficking crimes among our Filipino citizens? According to Ms. Ezeilo, an independent
expert charged by the UN Human Rights Council to promote the prevention of trafficking in
persons in all its forms and to encourage measures to uphold and protect the human rights of
victims, “The Government of the Philippines should strengthen implementation of measures to
combat trafficking in persons while promoting safe migration for development. Root causes of
trafficking, particularly poverty and demands for cheap and exploitative labour are not being
effectively addressed. This has perpetuated the abuse of human rights of Filipinos abroad, as well
as in the country, who are exposed to exploitation and extortion by brokers, employers and the
law enforcement agents.”
The Special Rapporteur urged the Filipino authorities to keep building upon the significant
progress made in efforts to address trafficking in persons in the country, but stressed that
“measures to prevent trafficking will not be effective or sustainable unless the underlying social,
economic and political factors that create an environment conducive to trafficking are
addressed.”
I think our government’s measures regarding human-trafficking is not strong and currently has
lots of holes where they should give attention to this
