2 Editorial IOM ECUADOR SUPPORTS THE ECUADORIAN GOVERNMENT IN COMBATTING HUMAN TRAFFICKING - PROTECTION AREA Human trafficking is a serious violation of human rights and a crime against freedom and personal dignity. An estimated 800,000 people are trafficked across international borders each year, making this criminal activity the second most lucrative in the world, second only to drug trafficking Since 2006 and with funding from several donors, IOM Ecuador has provided technical assistance to the Ecuadorian Government in combating human trafficking. The Programme Against Human Trafficking seeks to contribute to the implementation of the National Plan to Combat Human Trafficking in the areas of: 1) prevention, 2) integral protection, 3) investigation and sanctions, and; 4) interagency coordination Since its inception the Programme has worked intensively in the area of protection. In the years 2007 to 2008, IOM Ecuador implemented the Pilot Sheltered Homes Programme, undertaken in close coordination with two NGOs in Quito and Machala where houses were available for the protection of teenage girls trafficked for sexual exploitation. A total of 154 victims received assistance and these girls were provided with a warm welcome, food, wash kits, clothing, psychotherapic support in social and legal matters, personal safety; occupational and recreational therapy; educational reintegration (where it was possible); family support and aid in setting up micro-enterprises. In addition, the victims received support during the process of family and social reintegration through ambulatory assistance Another of the actions that can be re-initiated is the development of a Consular Assistance Protocol for Ecuadorian Victims of Human Trafficking Abroad that was undertaken in 2009 in conjunction with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This Protocol sought to train Ecuadorian consuls abroad, providing them with useful tools to improve their performance in recognizing and providing comprehensive care to victims of human trafficking. This Protocol can also call upon a Virtual Training Program for application of the Protocol which was undertaken by the Diplomatic Academy of the Ministry, at the time In addition, we want to salvage construction of the Unified National Protocol for Comprehensive Protection to Victims of Human Trafficking in 2013 which seeks to establish itself as the tool at national level, endorsed by the Ecuadorian State providing appropriate and comprehensive protection to victims of trafficking. This tool resulted from a participatory process between the Ecuadorian State and civil society and was led by the Ministry of the Interior, together with the Protection Bureau of the Interagency Committee of the National Plan to Combat Human Trafficking. The Protocol is complemented by a Methodological Guide for the Socialization Process, which was compiled based on the methodological design arising from a learning process conducted in The purpose of this tool is to provide guidance to facilitators to ensure they have the necessary tools in teaching processes We are certain all these actions contribute so the Ecuadorian Government and civil society organizations can be adequately oriented towards protecting and assisting human trafficking victims

3 AGENDA WORKSHOP ON COMPREHENSIVE PROTECTION AND ASSISTANCE TO VICTIMS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING TO THE ECUADORIAN CONFERENCE OF RELIGIOUS INSTITUTES (CER) PARTICIPATION IN THE REGIONAL WORKSHOP ON MIGRATION, ENVIRONMENT AND CLIMATE CHANGE The first Regional Workshop on "Migration, Environment and Climate Change in South America" was held in Santiago de Chile between October 28 and 30 and was organized by the Regional Office of IOM, in coordination with the Chilean Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Foreign Affairs This training event was attended by a representative of the Ecuadorian Ministry of the Environment as well as a representative of IOM in Ecuador. The active participation of government representatives from 10 countries in the region provided for a fruitful workshop that met the expectations of the attendees This event was of particular value for Ecuador following a national workshop on migration, environment and climate change held at the end of August, which also generated high expectations among the attendees and a commitment was undertaken to subsequently explore the topic in greater depth Further discussions are expected to be held with the Ecuadorian Government on the undertaking of studies to visualize environmental migration and include the government s analysis of national climate change policies On November 21, IOM Ecuador was invited to present a workshop on comprehensive protection and assistance to victims of human trafficking to the Ecuadorian Conference of Religious Institutes (CER). The workshop was requested by the Commission for Justice and Peace of the CER who form part of the Anti- Trafficking Network in Quito Argentina Santacruz, Coordinator of the Programme Against Human Trafficking of IOM Ecuador, presented the workshop based on the experience of the Programme for the comprehensive protection and assistance to victims of human trafficking of IOM Ecuador and in particular on the "Experience in preparing the National Unified Protocol for the Protection and Comprehensive Assistance to Victims of Human Trafficking" held in More than 40 religious representatives attended the workshop IOM ECUADOR PARTICIPATES IN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ASSISTANCE TO VICTIMS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING, IN MONTEVIDEO On September 30, IOM Ecuador was invited to participate in the International Conference on Assistance to Victims of Human Trafficking held in Montevideo Uruguay by IOM Uruguay.

4 LIFE STORY IOM ECUADOR IN THE REINTEGRATION WORKSHOP FOR THE PILOT KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT PROJECT IN SOUTH AMERICA As part of the preparations for the second phase of the Pilot Knowledge Management Project in South America, IOM Ecuador attended the Reintegration Workshop which was held on November 4 and 5 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The workshop s purpose was to validate and define the Working Group s action plan for 2015, which will seek to document "the IOM reintegration model". The idea is to systematize the lessons learned in the context of labour reintegration undertaken by missions in the region with a view to improving our services and having the appropriate tools and information to globally develop the work of IOM on the issue of voluntary return and reintegration Alejandra Gomez, the focal point for assisted voluntary return, and Argentina Santacruz, the focal point for combatting human trafficking, participated in the workshop on behalf of IOM Ecuador. Last March, Julio Chinchilima returned to Ecuador, from Italy, as a beneficiary of the Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration Programme, PARTIR IV Eight years ago he decided to migrate, looking to improve his personal situation. He had been told that in Italy he could find a good job and make good money. Julio did all sorts of jobs while in Italy: construction, gardening, painting I worked at anything I could find, I did everything, he tells us. In the end, he found himself jobless and decided to return to Ecuador Once he got back, Julio got immediately in touch with IOM in Ecuador, and expressed his interest in owning a small business. He lived for a couple of months in Cuenca and then saw the opportunity to set up his store in Taisha, in the province of Morona Santiago. Taisha is located in the Amazon and access to it is very limited, mainly by canoe or small aircrafts Thanks to IOM s support, Julio was able to buy stock to establish his store and home in Taisha. I am happy I decided to return, I m sure my business will go well as this town needs all sorts of products, and I want to cater to all its needs. Before finishing, Julio mentions I am very grateful for IOM s help, you have done so much for me PRE-SCREENING IN PORT OF SPAIN TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO During the week of November 24 to 28, a team of RSC Latin America caseworkers moved to Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, to conduct pre-screening interviews for resettlement to the United States for 15 refugees from Bangladesh, Pakistan, Syria and Cuba. The interviews were conducted with the help of professional local interpreters in the Bengali, Pashto and Arabic languages.

5 AGENDA Y IOM ECUADOR IN A DIALOGUE WITH THE MEDIA On November 13, IOM Ecuador was invited to participate in a dialogue with the media as part of the activities to commemorate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women organized by UN Women. The objective was to address, together with editors and journalists, the impacts of violence on Human Rights, specifically the effects of violence from the different perspectives of the United Nations System, as well as the manifestations of gender violence during the conflict, human trafficking, early marriage, access to education and health services, among others Argentina Santacruz of IOM participated in this dialogue, emphasizing that human trafficking, especially of women and children, is one of the worst forms of genderbased violence NEWCOMERS STAFF IOM Ecuador would like to welcome to the team FAREWELL We appreciate the professionalism, effort and dedication of our friends leaving Marina Morocho is the President of the Commission for Society Engagement at the University of Otavalo Since 2013, this commission manages a project to engage with the civil society, organized by the faculties of Social and Cultural Development and Law. The project is related to the combat against human trafficking through the Canton Agenda of Otavalo. Teachers and students of both faculties are involved in the project and cooperate with the Decentralized Autonomous Governments (GADs) of Otavalo and Cotachachi, and of course with IOM, in order to contribute to raise awareness about human trafficking and to combat this crime. Marina tells us that, within the project, they have carried out training activities for the university students, so they can in return go to the small communities in Cotacachi and talk to the children in the schools. They have reached 5 indigenous communities and spoken to the children during their summer camps. Likewise, the Law students have also been trained to work on the subject of human trafficking at the different parishes in Otavalo Marina admits the problem of human trafficking is still unrecognized in the Canton Otavalo. There is much ignorance, some people have the wrong ideas, they don t realize the depth of the problem or how they should react when facing human trafficking. We hope this (project) can give good results in the future, she adds At the beginning, the University of Otavalo got in touch with IOM, when the Canton Agenda to Prevent and Punish Human Trafficking was being developed, and it was invited to join this participatory process. Marina explains to us that the university students see these opportunities as very valuable, they enrich students professional and personal development. Students assume them with enthusiasm, and through the work done, they acquire knowledge and skills that are extremely useful The university offers its assistance to IOM and to the GAD of Otavalo, to combat human trafficking, both as a learning institution and as support for the authorities. IOM s participation in this process has been fundamental, you have given us the support and the know-how, Marina recognizes. Finally, she says that the knowledge given by IOM is a seed that has been planted in every person involved in combatting human trafficking in Otavalo
