For assistance call or W.h.a.t.s.a.p.p us on ...(.+.2.5.4.7.7.9.5.4.0.1.3.2)........... Your work at a legal research institute focusing on human rights. Recently you noticed that the issue of human trafficking has been receiving a lot of attention. You’ve also noticed an increase in adults with small children begging at traffic lights in your area. You realize from your work at the institute, that this could possibly be considered human trafficking. You delve deeper into the topic and what can be done under the Criminal Law in such cases to bring the offenders to book and, at the same time, protect the children. You also wonder about what is being done in other African countries, like Kenya for example, about this topic. You've registered for your post-graduate studies and decided that human trafficking is a good topic for your dissertation. Before you can start writing your dissertation, you have to submit your research proposal setting out, inter alia, your research idea, research questions and the basic theory underlying your research. To write the research proposal, you must research the law on human trafficking in South Africa. Focus on the Constitutional rights of the victims of human trafficking and the relevant legislative provisions in place to combat human trafficking. Consider relevant case law, law reform commission reports books and journal articles on the topic. (if you choose the comparative approach (see below) you also have to look at the law in Kenya). You must formulate a unique title for your research related to the given research topic/scenario guided by which aspect of the research you choose to focus on and the research approach you choose (historical or comparative – see below). You can look at the situation holistically, or you can choose to focus on a particular right, a particular piece of legislation or whatever you feel warrants investigation. Since there is a plethora of issues to investigate within this topic/scenario, each student’s work must be unique. Consult the PowerPoint presentation under additional resources for a detailed explanation of what is required under each heading 6 of the proposal). You must choose whether you are researching the given topic using the historical approach or the comparative approach (see explanation below) A) Historical research approach. This means looking at the historical development of the law on the issue from a specific date in the past up to the present day. You will look at relevant case law and legislation that might have contributed to the law as it stands today. You will also consider law reform commission reports on the given topic. Writings by scholars can assist in interpreting the law and evaluating its application and effectiveness. For purposes of the historical approach, you focus on the historical developments in South Africa only. OR B) Comparative research approach: This means looking at the current legal position in one jurisdiction and comparing it to the current legal position in another jurisdiction. For purposes of this research proposal, you must look at the laws of South Africa and Kenya. Legislation, case law, law reform commission reports and writings by scholars should be consulted. You will not go into detail about the historical developments of the law on the issue in these two jurisdictions but analyze and compare the current legal position.

RESEARCH PROPOSAL

LME3701 – FINAL RESEARCH PROPOSAL (Comparative Approach)


Title of Research Proposal:
"A Comparative Analysis of Legal Responses to Child Exploitation in Human
Trafficking: A Focus on South Africa and Kenya"

1. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

Human trafficking is a grave violation of human rights, often involving vulnerable groups
such as women and children. In South Africa, the increasing visibility of adults begging
with children at traffic intersections raises serious concerns regarding the potential
exploitation of children in human trafficking networks. This practice may violate
children's constitutional rights and demand urgent legal intervention. Similarly, Kenya
has grappled with related human trafficking challenges, prompting legislative and
institutional responses.

This research aims to investigate how the legal systems of South Africa and Kenya
address the issue of child exploitation in the context of human trafficking. By conducting
a comparative analysis of current laws, policies, and enforcement mechanisms, this
study will identify strengths, gaps, and best practices that can inform a more robust
response in South Africa.
