Description

The Second National Action Plan builds on Ireland’s responses and commitment to work together with its partners to prevent and combat trafficking in human beings. It leverages and builds on international and domestic experience to date and provides for new initiatives in order to address trafficking in human beings in all its forms. The National Action Plan complements the commitments under Ireland’s Second National Action Plan on UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on Women Peace and Security and those set out in the Working Outline of the National Plan on Business and Human Rights.

The Second National Action Plan Part 1 outlines the structures and policies Ireland has put in place to address trafficking in human beings and support it victims and the developments and evaluations that have informed the drafting of this second plan. Part 2 of the plan highlights the priorities identified by authorities to further address this issue and sets out clear targets for delivery. Measures related to supply chains are being discussed in sections on awareness-raising and training, awareness-raising and evaluation and demand reduction.
