Regional Review on Laws, Policies and Practices within ASEAN Relating to the Identification, Management and Treatment of Victims of Trafficking, especially Women and Children

This Regional Review provides a description and assessment of laws, policies and practices within the ASEAN region related to trafficking in persons (TIP) – with a particular focus on the identification, management and treatment of victims of trafficking in persons, especially women and children.

The purpose of the Regional Review is to assist ASEAN and its Member States in their efforts to improve national and regional responses to assisting victims of trafficking.

More immediately, the Regional Review is intended to provide ASEAN Member States (AMS) with information and insight that will support implementation of the ASEAN Convention against Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children (ACTIP) and its Plan of Action (APA), both adopted in late 2015.
