In order for public servants to be able to identify the general concepts of trafficking and exploitation of persons, they received a training course with a gender and children’s perspective.
The National Human Rights Commission gave the course "Detection and Identification of Victims of Trafficking and Exploitation of People, From the Perspective of Human Rights.”
Said training was given to personnel of the General Strategic Security Coordination, the Attorney General's Office for the Protection of Girls, Boys and Adolescents of the State of Jalisco, the State Executive Commission for Attention to Victims, and the State Search Commission for Persons.
The General Strategic Security Coordinator, Ricardo Sánchez Beruben, highlighted the need to carry out a transversal work that allows a true compensation of the already lacerated social fabric, with joint work with the areas of social development, the care of girls, boys, and adolescents, and with the areas of attention to the integral development of the family to prevent this problem from continuing in the state of Jalisco.
“We have to work from this transversal point of view, from this point of view where the entire government must take charge. It is a problem that must be addressed from its origins, from its causes, from its effects, and not just in combatting their recurrence.”
For the Regional Coordinator of the National Human Rights Commission, Mario Aguayo Aréchiga, the challenges for those who work in the public service are diverse and complex, highlighting the timely detection, identification, and investigation of violations of their human rights, as well as access to justice, fair treatment, and due compensation for damages.
“Currently, as Mexico is a country of origin, transit, and destination for human trafficking that manifests itself through various types of violence and human rights violations, we must pay attention to how this crime originates, impacts, its scope; but above all, who are its main victims."
The Attorney for the Protection of Girls, Boys and Adolescents of Jalisco, Euridice Paredes Jaramillo, highlighted that through this strategic alliance with the Coordination of State Security and the National Human Rights Commission, the State Government joins efforts to combat human trafficking.
"I make public that at the national level, the Attorney General's Office for the Protection of the state of Jalisco is the only one that has a unit against human trafficking, so it collaborates to have the training that provides the tools for the adequate care of this problem, and know the strategies that are being worked on at the local and national level.”
Among the subjects that were addressed during the course, the following stand out:
- Differentiate the basic general concepts of human trafficking and exploitation.
- Identify the characteristics of victims and perpetrators of these crimes.
- Identify human rights, as well as a gender and childhood perspective, as necessary elements to make human trafficking and exploitation visible.
- Examine the possible scenarios for the detection of possible victims.
- Identify the scope and limits of people in the public service in a case of human trafficking and/or exploitation.
