Poloff spoke with the head of the Bulgarian delegation to the
Vienna Forum, National Commission for Combating Trafficking
in Human Beings Executive Secretary, Antoaneta Vassileva on
Feb. 8th. Bulgaria is a country of origin and transit, and
to a lesser extent, a designation, for trafficking. Rather
than focusing on political declarations, Vassileva said that
international parties should focus their attention on
identifying new funds for anti-trafficking activities in
countries of origin, better coordination of efforts between
countries of origin and countries of destination,
identification of victims, and addressing demand side
factors. Vassileva said that in the past, efforts have
focused on prevention, prosecution, and investigation. She
repeatedly emphasized that this is insufficient and that the
trafficking issues in countries of origin cannot be addressed
fully without better international coordination.
