[Brussels, 08 September 2011] MONA Foundation for the Women of Hungary, member of the Hungarian Women’s Lobby, is organising a conference on prostitution and trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation on 23 September in Budapest. Sexual exploitation and trafficking to this end of primarily women and girls is occurring on a large scale within Hungary, while many Hungarian women and girls are trafficked out of Hungary to other countries in Europe such as the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria and Germany. Despite this, there is little in Hungary in the way of prevention, protection and prosecution.

This conference is aimed primarily at Hungarian decision-makers and professionals working with the issue and with victims/vulnerable persons and seeks to increase and improve efforts in Hungary in terms of combating the phenomena and assisting victims. The first half of the conference will be about European perspectives and experiences, while the second part will focus on the situation in Hungary and the role of the state.

EWL Policy Officer and Project Coordinator, Pierrette Pape, will speak at the conference, as will former EWL Secretary General and current EU Anti-Trafficking Coordinator, Myria Vassiliadou.
