patterns and scheme of trafficking in persons
which shall form the basis for policy formulation
and program direction;
 Solo Parent Act and Anti- Human Trafficking in
Persons Act was centered in developing human
capacity to survive in their situation. Thus, we
decided to use Human Development Framework
because it involves studies of human condition with
it’s core being the capability approach. Both laws
improved the way of measuring the actual progress in
human development. We observed that it helps to
reduce inequalities in human rights to perform their
role in the society. Empowerment for the Solo Parent
and Trafficked person is approach and foundation of
human development framework because it is the
freedom of the people to influence development in
decisions that affect their lives.
 Gender Development Framework is also
essential in our analysis because gender
discrimination is one of the concepts that
trigger the person to perform their human
rights. Like, the solo parent, there is always a
stigma in the society, unfavorable treatment of
individuals on the basis of their status in life.
Women are more vulnerable in gender
discrimination. One of the concept of this
framework is gender violence. Example in
human trafficking. Women are the target in this
crime because they are vulnerable. They
became sex slaves, prostitution and victims of
illegal recruitment, exploitation and deception.
 It will enables us to have awareness in
their situation in which lead to
perform the necessary intervention for
them.
 We can create services and programs
that are more specific and reliable
because we have knowledge about
these law and their situation.
 We can conclude that if the laws are
being executed and exercised well, it
will be beneficial to the person
because they will have the thinking
that this law will protect and secured
their basic human rights. It will also
be a powerful instrument for
executors to lessen the offenders.
 Improve the execution of law by means of
participation of society.
 Ensure the full access of the individuals in
their rights.
 Enhance social protection
 Grant more opportunities for the trafficked
person and solo parent which mainly
concerned in their development.
