The assessment was conducted between November 2009 and February 2010 in the framework of the project “Targeting niches in the anti-trafficking efforts: customised support for Croatia.” In addition to providing updated data in trafficking in human beings in Croatia, this publication aims at reviewing the most updated normative and practice-oriented documents on the subject of trafficking for labor exploitation. An additional purpose of this assessment is to propose a set of indicators for the identification of potential victims of trafficking for labour exploitation. These are largely based on the indicators already developed by the International Labour Office (ILO), and are adapted for the specific situation in Croatia. The findings of this assessment intend to provide insightful information to the Office for Human Rights, partner in this project, for the development of future initiatives, as well as to other interested policy makers, in view of shaping and implementing future sustainable anti-trafficking policies in Croatia.

Author: Jovovic, Iva Title: An Insight into Croatian Sex Work: Results from a Study Summary: In Croatia, the criminalization of sex work creates an unjust and gendered relationship between those engaging in the industry and the state. Sex workers, who are primarily female, face prosecution that often includes fines and jail time. In contrast, their customers rarely encounter consequences, unless they engage in sex with minors or victims of sexual exploitation. Living in a strict, conservative, and predominantly Catholic society, makes issues such as sex work and related terms a taboo subject within public and private conversations. The industry itself remains largely underground; women hide in the dark and buyers in cars. To most, sex workers are simply invisible. Due to this hostile environment, little research has previously been conducted on the sex industry in Zagreb - until now. Our organization, FLIGHT, implemented the first research project on sex workers and their clients, asking them why they got engaged with sex work, why they buy sex services, and their personal opinion on legislation. We also asked should sex work be legalized and should buyers be criminalized. Interviews were conducted from the end of March through May 2018, in public spaces, private, and offices of the respondents. In all, 15 female sex workers and 30 male buyers participated in the study. Details: Denver, CO: Human Trafficking Center, 2019. 6p.

Author: Global Detention Project Title: Immigration Detention in Croatia: Shrinking Space for Independent Monitoring Summary: As civil society groups have stepped up their criticism of Croatia's border policies, authorities have begun restricting their access to detention and reception centres. -Legislation refers to detention as a "restriction on freedom of movement" or as "accommodation." -Migrants may be detained even before they have received a return decision. -Grounds for detention in Croatian law appear to be at odds with the grounds permitted under the EU Returns Directive. -In practice, the administrative court usually confirms detention decisions adopted by the police or the Interior Ministry. Non-citizens are obliged to pay for their own detention. -"Alternatives to detention" are rarely provided. -Unaccompanied children above the age of 14 are frequently placed in juvenile public care institutions where they reportedly face hostility from other children. -Besides dedicated detention centres, migrants can also be confined in police stations and in airport transit zones for short periods of time. -There are no provisions protecting non-citizens who have been released from redetention.
