Bohol TIP Work Plan
The ASEAN Convention against Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children (ACTIP) was signed by the ASEAN Leaders at the 27th ASEAN Summit on 21 November 2015. ACTIP came into force on 8 March 2017 after the sixth ASEAN Member State deposited its instrument of ratification with the ASEAN Secretariat on 6 February 2017. ACTIP is now in force in all ASEAN Member States following the ratification of Brunei Darussalam in April 2020. As a way forward towards the implementation of both ACTIP and ASEAN Plan of Action Against Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children (APA), the ASEAN Multi-Sectoral Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Work Plan, also referred to as the Bohol TIP Work Plan 2017-2020 (BWP), was developed by SOMTC-Philippines in November 2016 through the collaborative efforts of relevant ASEAN Sectoral Bodies working towards countering TIP. The Bohol TIP Work Plan was envisioned to drive the work of the ASEAN Member States to counter TIP from 2017-2020 consistent with the APA timeline.
