The Bali Process Consultation Workshop on Policy Guides on Identifying and Protecting Victims of Trafficking

Project Background

In August 2014, the Senior Officials Meeting (SOM) of the Bali Process recommended a set of policy guides be developed on identification and protection of victims of trafficking. A Drafting Committee was established by the RSO co-chaired by the Government of the Republic of Indonesia and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) to draft the policy guides.

The Committee comprised experts from the governments of Indonesia, Australia, Maldives, Philippines, Thailand and IOM. It met on four occasions to discuss draft versions of the guides. Following the drafting of the Policy Guides a full Bali Process membership consultation workshop was held on March 23-24, 2015. The Workshop finalized the consultation process of the guides.
