FOREWORD The International Organization for Migration, Mission to Moldova has been providing direct assistance to victims and potential victims of trafficking in human beings for the past 10 years. Throughout this time, we have been building a strong partnership with the Government counterparts, NGOs, international organizations, and our beneficiaries. After many years of assisting victims of trafficking, there was a need for a more comprehensive, inclusive and sustainable approach; this is why the National Referral System (NRS) was established as a cooperation framework between key state institutions, International Organizations and Civil Society to protect and assist victims and potential victims of trafficking following international standards. The NRS was first piloted in 5 districts in 2006, and currently covers the whole territory of the Republic of Moldova. It is recognised as a best practice based on Proactive Prevention by assisting vulnerable women and children before they are pushed into the hands of traf- fickers and it aims to become an integral part of the National Social Protection system. The International Conference “Best Practices in the Implementation of National Referral Mechanisms/Systems for Protection and Assistance of Victims of Human Trafficking” was organized in order to evaluate the progress of the NRS and to validate the system against current developments. It is a logical and needed follow-up on the recom- mendations of the previous conference organised by International Center La Strada in 2008. The main goal of the conference is to share best practices, identify main challenges and develop common recommendations for the further consolidation of National Referral Mechanisms in the wider region. This report is a compilation of the best practices, conclusions and recommendations made during three successful working days. We would like to express our deep gratitude for the support, collaboration and contributions in the preparation and implementation of the Conference to our long-standing partners: The Ministry of Labour, Social Protec- tion and Family, the members of the Regional Steering Groups (from Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine) within the Regional Programme against Human Trafficking in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. Our special gratitude goes to the donors: the Royal Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Swiss Agency for Development and Coopera- tion (SDC) which have supported IOM’s regional counter-trafficking efforts for many years in a row. We also would like to thank all the participants of the Conference for sharing their experience, for their active participation in the discussion sessions, and for providing valuable feed-back for the final recommendations. All the inputs are integrated in the report and will help building effective and sustainable partnerships among those involved in the fight against human trafficking.

  • CSR in Swedish Football
    CSR in Swedish football A multiple case study of four clubs in Allsvenskan By: Lina Nilsson 2018-10-09 Supervisors: Marcus Box, Lars Vigerland and Erik Borg Södertörn University | School of Social Sciences Master Thesis 30 Credits Business Administration | Spring term 2018 ABSTRACT The question of companies’ social responsibility taking, called Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), has been widely debated in research since the 1900s. However, the research connecting CSR to sport was not started until the beginning of the 2000s, meaning that there are still many gaps in sport research that has to be filled. One such gap is research on CSR in a Swedish football context. Accordingly, the purpose of the study was firstly to examine how and why Swedish football clubs – organised as non-profit associations or sports corporations – work with CSR, and secondly whether or not there was a difference in the CSR work of the two organisational forms. A multiple case study of four clubs in Allsvenskan was carried out, examining the CSR work – meaning the CSR concept and activities, the motives for engaging in CSR and the role of the stakeholders – in detail. In addition, the CSR actions of all clubs of Allsvenskan were briefly investigated. The findings of the study showed that the four clubs of the multiple case study had focused their CSR concepts in different directions and performed different activities. As a consequence, they had developed different competences and competitive advantages. Furthermore, the findings suggested that the motives for engaging in CSR were a social agenda, pressure from stakeholders and financial motives.

  • Saudi Arabia 2019 International Religious Freedom Report
    SAUDI ARABIA 2019 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary According to the 1992 Basic Law of Governance, the country’s official religion is Islam and the constitution is the Quran and Sunna (traditions and practices based on the life of the Prophet Muhammad). The legal system is based largely on sharia as interpreted by the Hanbali school of Sunni Islamic jurisprudence. Freedom of religion is not provided under the law. The government does not allow the public practice of any non-Muslim religion. The law criminalizes “anyone who challenges, either directly or indirectly, the religion or justice of the King or Crown Prince.” The law criminalizes “the promotion of atheistic ideologies in any form,” “any attempt to cast doubt on the fundamentals of Islam,” publications that “contradict the provisions of Islamic law,” and other acts including non-Islamic public worship, public display of non-Islamic religious symbols, conversion by a Muslim to another religion, and proselytizing by a non-Muslim. In January and May, police raided predominantly Shia villages in al-Qatif Governorate, stating the raids were carried out to arrest terrorist cells or preempt terrorist attacks. On November 13, rights groups announced that Hussein al-Ribh, a 38-year-old Shia activist who was in detention since 2017, died in Dammam Prison. Some Shia activists outside the country stated that authorities tortured al-Ribh while he was detained. In April the government executed 37 citizens for “terrorism crimes,” the largest mass execution since 2016. According to Human Rights Watch (HRW), at least 33 of the 37 were from the country’s minority Shia community and had been convicted following what they stated were unfair trials for various alleged crimes, including protest-related offenses.
