Mission and objectives
The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) helps make the world safer from drugs, organized crime, corruption and terrorism. We are committed to achieving health, security and justice for all by tackling these threats and promoting peace and sustainable well-being as deterrents to them.
Because the scale of these problems is often too great for states to confront alone, UNODC offers practical assistance and encourages transnational approaches to action. We do this in all regions of the world through our global programmes and network of field offices.
The Office is committed to supporting Member States in implementing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at its core. The 2030 Agenda clearly recognizes that the rule of law and fair, effective and humane justice systems, as well as health-oriented responses to drug use, are both enablers for and part of sustainable development

Context
The Anti-Human Trafficking Associate will contribute to the activities that UNODC in Mexico implements to prevent and combat trafficking in persons (TIP). Framed by the Blue Heart Campaign and responding to the dispositions of the United Nations Convention against Organized Crime and its Protocols, UNODC has been delivering technical assistance to the government of Mexico to strengthen its capacities to prevent and combat this crime, as well as to assist and protect its victims. Also, given the complex nature of TIP, UNODC works closely with the private sector (mainly those companies linked to the tourism industry) and the civil society in order to set comprehensive programmes and public policies.
The Anti-Human Trafficking Associate will join a dynamic team in Mexico City with deep knowledge on the subject matter and with disposition to build bridges in order to tackle TIP in Mexico.
