The preliminary results of the Eradicating II project will be presented at the 24th Annual Conference of the European Society of Criminology, which will be held in Bucharest, Romania, between  11.09. – 14.09.2024. The Eradicating panel is scheduled for Friday, September 13, 3:30 to 4:45pm, at the Faculty of Law, University of Bucharest, located on the basement floor in Room 0.22. We invite all the interested conference participants to join us.

The panel “ERADICATING: social, financial and security impacts of trafficking in human beings” addresses the results of the needs and risk assessment conducted in Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Poland, Romania and Slovenia with LEAs, prosecutors, labour inspectors, and first-line practitioners. The session highlights the gaps, challenges, good practices and trends in trafficking for the purpose of labour exploitation. Moreover, the session also focuses on practical training instruments developed for practitioners to tackle THB more effectively and efficiently.

The main panel presentations are:

• ERADICATING overview & approach: why ERADICATING II after ERADICATING ?
• Living Lab: ideas and innovative solutions against THB.
• Combatting THB in modern, democratic and inclusive societies: Education and systematic training of first line professionals.
• THB trends in six countries: gaps, challenges, good practices and recommendations.
• Backing into the abyss: Romania’s struggle with THB in the context of the war in Ukraine.

The panel is a great opportunity to meet the project experts, explore and engage with our project and coordinate our common efforts to eradicate human trafficking.

We are excited to disseminate the project results towards the community of criminology in Europe.
