Abstract

The author of this paper points to the increasing problem of sexual violence and human trafficking at the global level, as well as in Serbia and the republics ex- Yugoslavia. Unfortunately, this problem has not drawn much attention and the allocated funds, before all those from government budgets, have not been enough for training staff at specialized and other facilities to offer support and protective services to the victims of these criminal acts. Particular emphasis is placed on the state bodies, as well as local authorities and their institutions of social welfare, health insurance fund, national employment service and their branches in local communities. In this paper, the author also points to the need to further train staff who work in the field of education and coaching at all levels, starting from the pre-school institutions, up to the centers for long-life learning. The similar situation exists at the Ministry of Internal Affairs since it is expected from the representatives of this important government department and the police departments throughout Serbia, to offer the services of physical protection and hiding the identity of potential victims, their personal data and addresses. Currently there are no adequate technical and communication means, appropriate facilities and professionally trained staff to execute all these activities. Finally, it should be noted that the situation in the judicial sector is much better based on the survey they was conducted among the organizations which govern the activities aimed at the prevention of sexual violence and human trafficking.
