Abstract

The first World Day against Trafficking in Persons (TIP) was held on 30 July 2014 and it demonstrates the growing global awareness of human trafficking. According to the UN TIP Protocol, TIP means the recruitment, transportation, transfer, and harbouring or receipt of persons through means such as force, coercion, and deception for exploitation. However, it is left to countries to codify these terms in national law. The conventional anti-TIP framework basically consists of prevention, protection, and prosecution, and this has been expanded to 4 “P”s through the inclusion of partnerships by the anti-TIP taskforce of Singapore. In addition to the 4 “P”s, addressing the socioeconomic causes is also essential for eradicating the scourge.
