Trafficking In Persons National Plan of Action

Ministry of Manpower - Corporate Communications MOM

Consultation Period: 10 Feb 2012 - 23 Feb 2012

Status: Closed

Summary

The Inter-agency Taskforce on Trafficking in Persons (TIP) is seeking feedback on the proposed National Plan of Action which will guide Singapore’s response to TIP from 2012-2015.

Detailed Description

TIP is a significant transnational crime which exploits vulnerable victims. As people increasingly move across borders in search of economic opportunities, this creates an opportunity for traffickers to exploit individuals with promises of good jobs and economic opportunity.   Singapore is an attractive hub of economic activity with high people flows. Hence, Singapore is no less vulnerable than other countries and would be seen as an attractive destination country by human trafficking syndicates.

The Inter-agency Taskforce on Trafficking in Persons (TIP) is seeking feedback on the proposed National Plan of Action which will guide Singapore’s response to TIP from 2012-2015.
