Anti-Trafficking in Persons Project [through American Bar Association]

The American Bar Association Rule of Law Initiative's Human Trafficking Assessment Tool (HTAT) will be implemented in the following regions in Mexico: the Federal District (Mexico City), Chihuahua, Quintana Roo, Baja California, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Tlaxcala, and Chiapas.

The HTAT will provide the necessary information for Mexican government authorities, law enforcement, civil society organizations, and other key stakeholders to reform their laws and overall efforts such that they can better combat trafficking in Mexico and uphold their obligations under the Palermo Protocol.

The HTAT.s two-part analysis will focus on Mexico's anti-trafficking legislation as well as policies and programs designed to investigate and prosecute TIP cases, protect and assist victims, and prevent TIP.
