The second edition of the Manual that you have in front of you provides a cross section of the most significant aspects of the problem of trafficking in women as experienced by an organization from Serbia. NGO ASTRA, the publisher of the Manual, is a women’s non-governmental organization which works on the prevention of human trafficking and offers direct assistance to the victims. This Manual has been created on the basis of our eight year long experience in fighting human trafficking in Serbia. In the period between March 2002 and November 2008, ASTRA SOS Hotline received 8,533 calls. During the same period, 275 trafficking victims were identified, of whom 41% were children. We advocate the position that trafficking in women is just one of the forms of violence against women, that is, of the violation of women’s human rights. We define it as trafficking in women for the purpose of sexual exploitation, and trafficking in women aimed at exploitation of labor e.g. work at home or forced marriage. We speak of trafficking in women when a woman is recruited by deception, coercion, threat, force, exposed to violence and forced to engage in jobs which are exploitative, in slavery-like labor, and which are, therefore, the violation of human rights that are guaranteed by birth. Due to the complexity of this phenomenon, we have tried to fully cover all its aspects. Due to the fact that trafficking in persons, but especially in women and children, has been marked as a priority of political officials around the world and that it is present in the media more than ever, this Manual was created as a response to the current way of presenting the problem of trafficking in women and to the existing assistance mechanisms in the Republic of Serbia. The second, extended edition of the Manual for Journalists, besides offering a definition and historical outline, also provides a general overview of the situation and new trends in human trafficking in the world. The Manual presents the fundamental information on the problem of trafficking in women, on who the victims of trafficking are, how they are recruited, and on the causes of trafficking in women. It speaks of trafficking in women as another form of violence, on the difference between trafficking in women, prostitution and illegal migration, on the violence a woman experiences as a victim of trafficking, and on prejudices we often hear concerning the problem of trafficking. In the second section, the Manual speaks of the extent of trafficking in women in Serbia, the mechanisms developed to this day for the purpose of suppressing trafficking; it stresses the data collected by means of the SOS hotline for victims of trafficking; it presents national legislation that governs the problem of trafficking in women, as well as the data on trafficking in children. Moreover, in this section you may read what the citizens of Serbia think and how much they know about this topic. In order to reach out to as many journalists as possible, we have tried to include experts, excellent journalists who have been practicing investigative journalism in the area of trafficking in women for years or who have otherwise been contributing to the prevention and suppressing of this problem. Our idea was that it would be most useful for journalists to read about the experience of their peers working in the area of radio, TV, documentary journalism, print media and marketing. This section Manual for journalists 5 INTRODUCTION BY THE AUTHORS also contains a comparative analysis of the print media in the period May-October 2008 and throughout 2003, in order to assess qualitative progress in the reporting by Serbian media on the problem of human trafficking. Also, we have tried to analyze terminology, the intensity of writing and the visual presentation of the problem of trafficking in women as it appeared in the print media, as well as to give recommendations to all those who write or are preparing to write on the topic of trafficking in women. The last section contains additional references and contacts of relevant institutions, international and nongovernmental organization in the country and abroad that may be of use for all those who are doing in-depth research of this problem. Adequate media reporting on this problem is very important for deconstructing prejudice and stereotypes, popular awareness raising, preventing future recruitment and improving the quality of assistance and reintegration process of persons who have managed to come out of the trafficking chain. We considered this to be in our common interest. Therefore, we hope you will find this Manual useful for your work. Should you have any questions, confusion or you need additional information, call ASTRA, we will be glad to help. Authors 6 GENERAL OVERVIEW GENERAL OVERVIEW Have you ever watched waves at sea? Violence is like a sea wave. You see it coming, but you cannot evade it. You have no choice – when it finally reaches you, it gets hold of you. Everything is out of your control, you are in the wave, desperately trying to free yourself, but the wave has its course, a life of its own. And then it breaks – and you never know where it broke, where you are now… That was my life – everything I wished was at least some possibility of choice – a chance to evade that wave. To live my own life. Then I got the feeling that this chance appeared and – I left…. (The Story of a Woman Victim of Trafficking, radio drama, Siobhan Cleary) What is Human Trafficking? Human trafficking is a global phenomenon that hits all countries in the world: countries in political and economic transition, underdeveloped and developing countries, countries in war and post-conflict countries that appear as the countries of origin and transit of trafficking victims, and economically developed countries that appear as the countries of destination. Terms “the country of origin/source country”, “transit country” and “destination country” are not absolute categories – one country may be any of these in specific cases. Also, economic development and the wealth of destination country cannot be observed independently from the situation in the country of origin. There are not reliable and comprehensive data on the size of the problem of human trafficking, but estimations made by international organizations and some national agencies may serve as a good indicator. According to the UN, 700,000 children, women and men fall victim to trafficking every year1. US State Department estimates this figure at 900,000, of whom 20,000 persons are exploited in the US territory2. In its 2005 Report, International Labor Organization states that 2.45 million people every year become victims of labor exploitation only3. According to UNICEF, 1.2 million children become trafficking victims every year4. Although it is still the dominant belief that only women and children may fall victim to trafficking, the truth is that anyone can be the victim.

  • Post-Soviet Trauma in the Nordic Imagination: Occupation and Sex Traffi Cking in Purge and Lilya 4-Ever*
    BALTIC SCREEN MEDIA REVIEW 2014 / VOLUME 2 / ARTICLE Article Post-Soviet Trauma in the Nordic Imagination: Occupation and Sex Traffi cking in Purge and Lilya 4-Ever* LIINA-LY ROOS, University of Washington, USA; email: [email protected] * This article is an edited portion of my MA thesis, Post-Soviet Identity in the Nordic Imagination: Trauma and Sex Traffi cking in Purge and Lilya 4-Ever, at the University of Washington, Seattle. 22 DOI: 10.1515/bsmr-2015-0013 BALTIC SCREEN MEDIA REVIEW 2014 / VOLUME 2 / ARTICLE ABSTRACT The traumas of the twentieth century aff ected the devel- opment of trauma narrative in literature and cinema. Much of the trauma theory in diff erent disciplines devel- oped largely from the Holocaust literature as well as from gender-based violence. The criticism of many examples in contemporary trauma theory has been that they are applicable only to Western countries and do not take into account the diffi cult transitions between the non-Western and Western world. The countries that had gone through a brutal occupation of the Soviet Union also experienced the trauma of transformation, as whole societies turned into post-Soviet nations next to the developed Nordic/ Western states. This article will examine the representa- tions of trauma in Sofi Oksanen’s fi ctional narrative Purge (Puhdistus, 2008) and Lukas Moodysson’s cinematic nar- rative Lilya 4-Ever (Lilja 4-ever, Sweden/Denmark, 2002) and off er an analysis of the trauma of transitions in the borderland between the post-Soviet and Nordic countries. Both Oksanen and Moodysson, as observers from the Nordic countries (Finland and Sweden respectively), have chosen to depict the post-Soviet trauma through a female body which is trapped in forced prostitution in Western Europe or Scandinavia and her emotions and reactions to her trauma.

Checkel Supervisor Professor Date Approved: ii Partial Copyright Licence Abstract Sex trafficking is a form of transnational organized crime, which may pose security threats to nation states. This project examines the roles that Sweden and the United States (US) played as global leaders in securitizing sex trafficking. This comparative case study identifies and analyzes both states' securitization processes according to the Copenhagen School's securitization framework. This project argues that both states securitized sex trafficking in the early 1990s through to 2009 in a two-stage process, initiated by civil society groups. Sex trafficking was then adopted by each states' government, and re-framed as a threat to state sovereignty.

    Divergent Accounts of Equivalent Narratives: Russian-Swedish Interdevochka Meets Swedish-Russian Lilya 4-ever Lars Kristensen, University of St Andrews When Margareta Winberg, then Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Gender Equality in Sweden, took up the film Lilya 4-ever (2002) for public debate in 2003, she made it clear that the film’s most important function in her view was its depiction of gender equality. As a consequence of this admiration from the political establishment, the Swedish Foreign Ministry was assigned to ‘export’ the film to countries from where human trafficking originates: Russia and Eastern Europe. The aim of this ‘export’ was to reach political decision-makers—and opinion-makers—and to make explicit what facts and statistics had failed to do, that is, make the horrors of human trafficking tangible (Hedling 2004, 327). This seemingly transnational1 feminist concern has larger consequences beyond the intentions of the film, because it makes explicit the post- Socialist power system that emerged after the fall of the Soviet Union. Here Sweden and the West as a whole hold the banner of educators, and the post-Socialist countries are the uncivilised learners, a phenomenon already described elsewhere (Wolff 1994; Neumann 1996, 1999). By demonstrating how Lilya 4-ever performs a Russian ‘return’ narrative, in this article I want to underline the ways in which the story of Lilya adheres to a European ‘anxiety’ 1 In this essay, the transnational has different connotations than the international. Where the international is considered as a bilateral, or multilateral, connection between states, the transnational is interconnected at the level of people, e.g.

  • Russia –​ Art Resistance and the Conservative-​Authoritarian Zeitgeist
    i Russia – Art Resistance and the Conservative- Authoritarian Zeitgeist This book explores how artistic strategies of resistance have survived under the conservative- authoritarian regime which has been in place in Russia since 2012. It discusses the conditions under which artists work as aesthetics change and the state attempts to define what constitutes good taste. It examines the approaches artists are adopting to resist state oppression and to question the present system and attitudes to art. The book addresses a wide range of issues related to these themes, considers the work of individual artists and includes some discussion of contemporary theatre as well as the visual arts. Lena Jonson is Associate Professor and a Senior Associate Research Fellow at the Swedish Institute of International Affairs. Andrei Erofeev is a widely published art historian, curator, and former head of the contemporary art section of the Tretyakov Gallery, Moscow, Russia. ii Routledge Contemporary Russia and Eastern Europe Series Series url: www.routledge.com/ Routledge- Contemporary- Russia- and- Eastern- Europe- Series/ book- series/ SE0766 71 EU- Russia Relations, 1999– 2015 From Courtship to Confrontation Anna- Sophie Maass 72 Migrant Workers in Russia Global Challenges of the Shadow Economy in Societal Transformation Edited by Anna- Liisa Heusala and Kaarina Aitamurto 73 Gender Inequality in the Eastern European Labour Market Twenty- five Years of Transition since the Fall of Communism Edited by Giovanni Razzu 74 Reforming the Russian Industrial Workplace
