Guidance on establishing and maintaining National Survivors of Trafficking Advisory Councils (NSTACs)
This guidance provides practical information for OSCE participating States on how to establish and structure National Survivors of Trafficking Advisory Councils (NSTACs).
Across the globe, human trafficking remains a low-risk, high-profit crime. No country can claim they keep pace with the domestic and transnational trafficking crimes committed on their territory. Traffickers are continuously diversifying their ‘business models’, presenting serious challenges for law enforcement. For effective and sustainable trafficking prevention strategies there must be cooperation between multi-agency and multidisciplinary stakeholders. Survivor Leader bodies and councils are already active in many fields of anti-trafficking. Their central involvement is increasingly recognized as fundamental both to preventing and combating human trafficking and to protecting the human rights of victims and survivors.
