RT Article T1 Inter-Agency Cooperation to Raise Awareness on Human Trafficking in Vietnam: good Practices and Challenges JF Asian journal of criminology VO 13 IS 3 SP 251 OP 274 A1 Le, Tien Hoang A1 Thanh Phuc Nguyen A1 Carrington, Kerry A1 Bui, Ngoc Ha A1 Le, Trung Kien A1 Tran, Thanh Hung A2 Thanh Phuc Nguyen A2 Carrington, Kerry A2 Bui, Ngoc Ha A2 Le, Trung Kien A2 Tran, Thanh Hung LA English YR 2018 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1745080856 AB Awareness-raising tactics are arguably the first priority in the prevention strategies in Vietnam at present. Awareness-raising campaigns are implemented through two kinds of communication methods: community-based activities and mass media. Although anti-trafficking activities in Vietnam have achieved some successful results, recent evidence suggests that a lack of clear progress in the areas of trafficking awareness-raising still remains. The quality and extent of collaboration between authorised agencies are key factors in anti-trafficking activities, including raising awareness on human trafficking. However, to date, there has been no systematic research on inter-agency cooperation in awareness-raising activities in Vietnam. This paper first reviews the nature of human trafficking and legal framework on raising trafficking awareness in Vietnam. The paper then presents successes and challenges of current inter-agency collaborative activities undertaken to implement the awareness-raising strategies.
