Dr. Alaa Nafea Jasim (the director of the center) the center of heritage revival organizes workshop entitled ( Psychological and social effects of human trafficking on victims) where sited on the hall of Nabila A. Dawood in the center on Tuesday 18th/2/2025 , the lecture is presented by prof. Dr. Anas Esam Ismaiel and Dr. Leqaa Shaker Khattar who they talked about Manifestations of human trafficking in the past and present. In the past, human trafficking was represented by slavery and had its own laws and regulations. In the Middle Ages, it was widespread in Europe, exploiting poor countries. Recently, it has transformed into various forms, but it serves the same purpose, the difference being escaping legal and international sanctions. The researchers added that the seriousness of the crimes facing societies is the transgression of the law, which leads to a direct clash with customs, traditions, and societal norms in Iraq, as this crime is morally and religiously unacceptable. Iraqi society is conservative by nature and completely rejects any form of exploitation, whether through child trafficking, forced labor, or sexual exploitation. The researchers expressed the most important recommendations of the workshop, including spreading community awareness, supporting victims through social and psychological rehabilitation cells, tightening penalties, activating the role of security services to pursue human traffickers, and finally, combating poverty and unemployment. In conclusion, the director of the center thanked the lecturers, wishing them continued success in serving our university and our beloved Iraq.
