Helping Refugees from Ukraine and Preventing Exploitation

On May 12, PRIO hosted a panel discussing measures to prevent human trafficking in the context of the war in Ukraine, between volunteers' crucial assistance and governments' measures to control and gain oversight. The discussion focused on raising awareness around the power dynamics at play between the refugees, citizen-led volunteer networks and organizations, and governments' tools both for facilitating these forms of assistance and for preventing human trafficking, against the background of ongoing reception efforts of people fleeing Ukraine.

Speakers

• Edi Mujaj, Senior Adviser, Task Force Against Trafficking in Human Beings (TF-THB), Council of the Baltic Sea States Secretariat
• Guri Tyldum, Researcher at FAFO
• Jan Austad, Norwegian Ministry of Justice
• Despina F. Johansen, Director of Operations, Dråpen i Havet
• Fatou Diallo Ndiaye, Chief of Mission, IOM Norway

The panel was chaired by Maria Gabrielsen Jumbert, Research Director at the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO).
