@NiamhatMU @MaynoothUni Thanks for the support.
These licensed employers created and empowered by the law of the state to recruit and transport our bro &sis for #homegrownslavery are what we call Domestic Organised Criminal gangs.
We are disrupting their activities.

Ireland's system for identification of victims of #ChildTrafficking is child-blind, we 'see' far fewer victims than our neighbours. @OCO_ireland says robust screening tools & procedures are needed to identify & protect.

Shocked to read that our colleague Aké Ache of @migrantsatwork, modern slavery expert & education contributor @MaynoothUni, has been subjected to death threats due to his work to support exploited workers. Swift & thorough action & investigation is vital. https://t.co/29Btqz2Gvj

Ireland's system for identification of victims of #ChildTrafficking is child-blind, we 'see' far fewer victims than our neighbours. GRETA urges us to step up efforts to combat child trafficking.

A child cannot consent to being exploitation, so #ChildTrafficking looks different to #HumanTrafficking. @UNChildRights1 recommended that we have an NRM for child victims.

We're not seeing the full picture of #ChildTrafficking in Ireland.
EU GRETA says we need to see the risks for #IrishChildren & #EUChildren as well as unaccompanied/separated children seeking international protection.

This year has seen significant advances in Irish policy & legislation to counter #HumanTrafficking in Ireland, but much remains to be done to address #ChildTrafficking.
