UNODC: Hidden in Plain Sight: The Global Human Trafficking Crisis

Welcome to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime Committee on Hidden in Plain Sight: The Global Human Trafficking Crisis! Right now, an estimated 50 million people are trapped in modern slavery, hidden in plain sight in the factories that make our clothes, the homes down the street, and the online scam compounds luring victims with fake job offers. This isn't a crisis of the past; it's evolving faster than the law can keep up, as traffickers turn to social media recruitment and forced criminality to stay one step ahead of justice. Delegates in this committee will confront the brutal reality that fewer than 1 in 100 victims are ever identified, and even fewer traffickers are brought to justice. Get ready to dig into real geopolitical flashpoints, from Southeast Asia's scam-compound epidemic to the collapse of the Gulf's kafala system, and craft solutions bold enough to actually make a difference.

Chair

Hi delegates! I’m Prerana Bandaru, and I’m going to be your chair for the UNODC Committee of RidgeMUNC V! I’m currently a senior, and I’ve been participating in Model UN since my freshman year. I’ve made so many of my favorite memories through Model UN, especially at overnight conferences where I’ve gotten to meet new people, work with different delegates, and make lasting memories. I’m so excited to be chairing UNODC this year and hope to make this committee an engaging and memorable experience for everyone. I hope you’ll consider registering for UNODC, and I can’t wait to meet you all at RidgeMUNC V! Good luck!

Co-Chair

I’m Eunice Lee, and I’m going to be your co-chair for the UNODC Committee of RidgeMUNC V! I’ve been participating in Model UN for a year now, and I’m so excited to be co-chairing this committee! Whether it be brainstorming at regional conferences or speaking at overnight ones, every memory made during Model UN was special. Through this year’s unique topic, I hope all delegates can delve deeper into the workings of UNODC. I can’t wait to make RidgeMUNC V a great experience with you! Good luck!
