UNIAP Human Trafficking Estimates Competition

The Problem…

There are few accurate numbers that reflect the extent of human trafficking throughout the Mekong Region, much less the rest of the world!.

…A Proposed Solution?

Between now and August 2007, the United Nations Inter-Agency Project on Human Trafficking in the Greater Mekong Sub-Region (UNIAP) is hosting a Trafficking Estimates Competition. Entrants are asked to estimate the number of human trafficking victims within their own choice of region and sector(s). The aim of the competition is to identify well-conceived and defendable approaches for estimating the extent of human trafficking in GMS countries or areas.

Individuals, teams or organizations are eligible, with submissions due by the 20th August 2007. Everyone is encouraged to submit as many entries as they can come up with. A selection of the best entries will be invited to Bangkok to defend their approach to a panel of judges on 31st August 2007, with a public audience of peers.  Prizes include the publication and wide dissemination of the top methodologies and the opportunity for them to be validated in the field. (And of course a trophy!)
