Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Measures for the Integration of Trafficked Persons

NGO, reports

Five case countries (Belgium, France, Hungary, Italy and the United Kingdom) have been assessed for the purposes of this project, and it is also useful to enquire as to whether any of these countries offer specific examples of effective measures for the integration of victims. As the research for this project has benefitted from some interviews with victims of trafficking, we can also qualitatively address those measures which victims themselves consider satisfactory.

reports, U.N.

For a universally condemned, but globally evident issue, surprisingly little is known about human traffickers – those who enable or partake in the trade and exploitation of individual human beings. Data and information about how people come to commit trafficking crimes, their respective roles in networks of traffickers, their relationships to other criminals and to victims, and a strong understanding of trafficking modus operandi would help establish means by which actual traffickers can be identified, stopped and prosecuted, as well as preventing potential traffickers from becoming so.
