The responsiveness of Tanzanian laws to curb child trafficking in Tanzania

Abstract

This mini-dissertation discusses child trafficking in the United Republic of Tanzania, a lower-middle-income country that shares borders with several other nations. The phenomenon of child trafficking in Tanzania is influenced by various social, economic, and cultural factors. The mini dissertation aims to explore the national legal frameworks in place to address child trafficking and examines the mechanisms for prosecuting perpetrators and protecting victims, as well as the enforcement challenges. By analysing the Anti-Trafficking Legal frameworks in South Africa and Kenya and discussing best practices and challenges, the study aims to provide valuable insights for Tanzania's criminal justice system to combat child trafficking.
