Cover of Migrant Smuggling and Human Trafficking from and in the Dominican Republic

Authors Eddy Tejeda and Bridget Wooding draw on two consultation workshops with key actors in Santo Domingo and the border city of Dajabon, respectively, as well as a review of relevant literature and press coverage.

This Migration Policy Brief seeks to take stock of the current situation and outline recommendations for public policy. It provides input for the eventual work plan of a newly established national observatory on trafficking, led by OBMICA and corresponding to the regional observatory ObservaLaTrata, which focuses on these issues.

The brief was published in 2012 and is available in Spanish.
