Prevention in Costa Rica Trafficking Notes
According to the Costa Rica Star, a local newspaper, in 2017 the government started providing more of the national budget to NGO's, who work to fight against trafficking. After refreshing government policies, NGOs (National Government Organizations) are responding to victims right away by providing food, shelter, and financial and psychological assistance. However, it has been reported that they do not respond on time nor do victims get the same amount of level of protection. In 2016, the Costa Rican government joined the Blue Heart Campaign, which was created by the UNODC to aid governments, organizations, and both media and private outlets to reveal, prevent, and fight against human trafficking within countries. The following year, 2017, for the 5th time, Costa Rica and Panama paired up together to hold a walk to and from each country that aims to educate and shed light on human trafficking and how citizens can recognize and prevent it within their countries, which is supported by both Costa Rican and Panamainan law enforcement. Fundación Paniamor is an organization in Costa Rica that was declared a public interest by Costa Rican State by Decree in 1989 due to their strong efforts to provide opportunities for adolescents so they can avoid being trafficked and exploited. For the prostitution and sex tourism laws for visitors, the government claims to offer severe prosecution to those who enter the country advertising and/or encouraging trafficking and prostitution of persons and child. To ensure the safety of child and protect them against human trafficking, the government has the prosecutor's office with a specialized Prosecutorial Unit against Trafficking in Persons while the judicial investigative police and Minsistry of Labor and Social Security (MTSS) works to investigate cases of human trafficking against children. Another orgainziation working within Costa Rica for prevention of the trafficking of Persons is the Face of Justice Association, where they are training both police officers and politicans throughout the country to educate them on victims of trafficking and on how to recongize and eliminate it.
