| Summary: | Taking into account the gender dimension of trafficking in human beings is
essential to ensure adequate support for the female victims as well as effective
prevention and the prosecution of traffickers. Directive 2011/36/EU of 5 April 2011 on
preventing and combating trafficking in human beings and protecting its victims from a
gender perspective recognised that this is a gender-specific phenomenon, affecting men
and women in different ways. This paper aims to verify in depth the compliance of Spain in terms of
application of the Directive, in particular the adoption of a gender perspective. It will do
it from the viewpoint that legal actors such as judges, practitioners and legislators need
to work with some supposedly consensual idea of legal culture as a regulative ideal
when they argue what the European law requires. The main hypothesis is that the
Spanish legal culture regarding human trafficking interferes with the EU policy on the
matter, especially the fuller implementation of its gender aspects, rendering the
transposition and implementation of different elements of the EU Anti-Trafficking
Directive contradictory and ineffective. To support her conclusions, the author offers
contextual information based on pre-legislative and academic discussions related to the legislative actions taken by the government to transpose the EU Anti-Trafficking
Directive from a gender perspective. |
