The Department of Justice has secured almost 600 human trafficking convictions for over a decade, the Inter-Agency Council Against Trafficking said.
Villar revealed that the IACAT, which was created under Republic Act 9208 or the Anti-Trafficking of Persons Act of 2003, has monitored 593 trafficking convictions. The undersecretary said plea bargaining also “lessen the risks of re-traumatization brought about by the stress of appearing in court as a witness – situations that are highly distressing for child victims.”
“It cannot be denied that the current battleground and the future of the anti-OSEC response lies in the technological landscape,” she stated.
