The Studies and Planning Division, in cooperation with the Legal Division at the Center of Urban and Regional Planning for Postgraduate Studies, held a workshop entitled “The Use of the Internet in Human Trafficking.” The workshop was presented by Assistant Lecturer Haider Adnan, Head of the Legal Division at the Center, and attended by the Dean of the Center, Professor Dr. Kareem Hassan Alwan, along with a group of faculty members, staff, and postgraduate students. The workshop addressed the impact of the internet in transforming human trafficking from a traditional process to a rapid, electronic one.
The workshop aimed to examine the consequences and causes of the increase in human trafficking with the development of the internet, and the measures taken by the Iraqi government and other countries to curb this phenomenon. The workshop also highlighted the causes of human trafficking within a single country, across borders, and at the regional and even international levels, while also reviewing the position of Iraqi law in combating it.
