EU Agenda to tackle organised crime (2021-2025)

Home affairs

Organised Crime is one of the key threats to the security of European citizens. The number of Organised Crime Groups investigated in the EU is increasing and generating enormous profits, used to infiltrate the legal economy or invested in more criminal activities. The proposed EU Agenda to tackle organised crime will include actions on main criminal markets, address corruption and financial aspects of organised crime and will be adopted jointly with a new strategy on trafficking in human beings.

European Women's Lobby calls for end-demand approach to sex trafficking

European Women's Lobby, 12 Mar 2021

The EWL calls for reintroduction of a standalone Anti-Trafficking Coordinator with specific expertise on the gendered nature of trafficking. They urge legislative action to criminalise the purchase of sex while decriminalising those selling sex, following the Nordic model. They request multiannual funding for civil society organisations providing services to victims.
This would strengthen their advocacy model linking prostitution and trafficking, and secure sustained funding for member organisations providing frontline services.
Women in prostitution lose autonomy as the approach treats sex work as inherently exploitative rather than labour.
