UNODC's Education for Justice initiative and the Migration Policy Centre at the European University Institute (EUI) convened an International Academic Conference on the gender and gendered dynamics of organized crime, including trafficking in persons and smuggling of migrants. The Conference was held on 11-13 July 2018 in Florence, Italy. The aim of this conference was to display innovative global and critical research on the issue, particularly of scholars from the Global South, and contribute to the crafting of legal and policy reform on crime. Following the conference, the papers presented during the event will be published as well as two teaching modules developed, intended for university professors and other tertiary level educators.
