FMO has adopted the definition of ‘forced migration’ promoted by the International Association for the Study of Forced Migration (IASFM) which describes it as ‘a general term that refers to the movements of refugees and internally displaced people (those displaced by conflicts) as well as people displaced by natural or environmental disasters, chemical or nuclear disasters, famine, or development projects.’ FMO views forced migration as a complex, wide-ranging and pervasive set of phenomena. The study of forced migration is multidisciplinary, international, and multisectoral, incorporating academic, practitioner, agency and local perspectives. FMO focuses on three separate, although sometimes simultaneous and inter-related, types of forced migration. These three types are categorized according to their causal factors: conflict, development policies and projects, and disasters.
Forced migration has accompanied persecution, as well as war, throughout human history but has only become a topic of serious study and discussion relatively recently. This increased attention is the result of greater ease of travel, allowing displaced persons to flee to nations far removed from their homes, the creation of an international legal structure of human rights, and the realizations that the destabilizing effects of forced migration, especially in parts of Africa, the Middle East, south and central Asia, ripple out well beyond the immediate region.

ET An Introduction to Human
Trafficking in the United States
H uman trafficking, also known as trafficking in persons or modern-day slavery, is a crime that involves the exploitation of a person for the purpose of compelled labor or a commercial sex act. While the U.S.
Department of Justice (DOJ) has long enforced criminal laws against involun-
tary servitude and slavery, the enactment of the Trafficking Victims Protection
Act (TVPA) of 2000 brought new benefits, services, and criminal penalties to
address human trafficking in a more comprehensive and effective way.
What Is Human
Trafficking?
The TVPA defines a “severe form of trafficking
in persons” as—
• Sex trafficking (the recruitment,
harboring, transportation, provision,
obtaining, patronizing, or soliciting of a
person for the purpose of a commercial
sex act) in which a commercial sex act is
induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in
which the person induced to perform such
act has not attained 18 years of age; or
• The recruitment, harboring, transportation,
provision, or obtaining of a person for labor
or services, through the use of force, fraud,
or coercion for the purpose of subjection
to involuntary servitude, peonage, debt
bondage, or slavery.
Who Are the
Victims of Human
Trafficking?
Anyone who is compelled (through force, fraud,
or coercion) to perform any kind of work or
commercial sex act by another person, and
any minor engaged in a commercial sex act, is
a human trafficking victim. Victims of human
trafficking come from all walks of life and are
entrapped in many different settings. Anyone
can be a victim, regardless of their race, color,
national origin, disability, religion, age, gender,
sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeco-
nomic status, or citizenship status. While there
is no defining characteristic that all victims
share, traffickers frequently prey on individuals
who are poor, vulnerable, living in an unsafe
situation, or are in search of a better life. These
victims are deceived by false promises of love,
a good job, or a stable life and are lured into
situations where they are forced to work under
deplorable conditions with little to no pay.
Whether made to work in agriculture, a factory,
or a strip club, forced into commercial sex,
or abused in a home as a domestic servant,
federal law recognizes these individuals as
victims of human trafficking.
Who Are the
Traffickers and
How Do They Trap
Victims?
Traffickers are similarly diverse. There are
traffickers working alone to deceive and prey on
victims; businesses that enslave their workers;

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

19. “Whatever insults human dignity, such as… slavery,
prostitution, the selling of women and children… all
these things… are infamies indeed. They poison
human society… they are supreme dishonor to the
Creator.”
Gaudium et Spes, 1965
20. “We publicly declare our determination to address
insistently at every level the abuse and sexual

Declaration of Women Religious Leaders – UISG –
May 13, 2001

grave violation of fundamental human rights…
Such situations are an affront to fundamental
values shared by all cultures and peoples, values
rooted in the very nature of the human person.”
John Paul II, 2002
22. “Trafficking in persons – in which men, women and
children from all over the globe are transported to
other countries for the purposes of forced
prostitution or labor – inherently rejects the dignity
of the human person and exploits conditions of
global poverty.”
Strangers No Longer: Together on the Journey of Hope
Joint US/Mexican Bishops’ Pastoral Letter,
November 2002
23. “Human trafficking will never be truly defeated
without eliminating the consumerism that feeds it
and prosecuting those actors in receiving countries,
including our own, that benefit because of the
exploitation of vulnerable human beings.”
On Human Trafficking,
U.S. Catholic Bishops, 2007
