Public Policy Research Centre hosts the presentation on Roma's vulnerability and human trafficking

   Debate about Vulnerability of Roma in the Anti-human Trafficking Policy Discourse in Serbia will be held on Monday, 29th February 2016 from 11  a.m. in Public Policy Research Centre. How the anti-trafficking policy actors understand 'Roma' as a group vulnerable to human trafficking in Serbia, what are  the implications of the policy discourse on 'vulnerability of Roma' to the decision-making processes and implementation of the anti-trafficking policies, those are the questions that Jelena Jovanovic, researcher of Center for Policy Studies (CPS) at the Central European University (CEU) will address.

  The project uses qualitative research methods - interviews and desk research. The analysis of the interviews conducted with anti-trafficking policy actors is combined with the analysis of policy documents, such as national strategic documents.

The results of projects are available here: https://cps.ceu.edu/profiles/research-fellow/jelena_jovanovic.
