A comprehensive picture of assistance needs necessitates engaging directly with trafficked persons in the design, implementation and evaluation of assistance interventions. That is, what do trafficking victims themselves see as important and useful assistance in order to be able to recover and move on from trafficking? To what extent are these needs being met within the existing assistance system? How could interventions better respond to their different needs? These questions are the main focus of this paper. A second focus is the broader social and economic context of victims’ needs. For many victims, their assistance needs are not tied directly to trafficking but to their social and economic exclusion and vulnerability. Disentangling when victims’ assistance needs are directly caused by trafficking and which are manifestations of their general social and/or economic vulnerability, situates human trafficking in a wider context of socioeconomic vulnerability. In so doing, it pinpoints when and how trafficking involves distinct, specific needs and responses and when victim needs might be addressed within the existing social protection framework. This report is based on interviews with victims of trafficking in Albania, Moldova and Serbia. Details: Oslo, Norway: Fafo; Washington, DC: NEXUS Institute, 2012. 48p.

Author: Brunovskis, Anette Title: No Place Like Home? Challenges in family reintegration after trafficking Summary: When trafficking exploitation ends, victims face a new set of challenges as they return and integrate into their home environment. A critical aspect is victims’ relationship and interaction with their family. Family provides not only emotional and social support but also (often vital) economic backstopping. Considering and accommodating family dynamics and relationships in reintegration responses has the potential to contribute substantially to more efficient and appropriate assistance and protection. At the same time, there are family tensions and issues, which can serve to undermine the reintegration process. Considering relationships within the family – with parents, children, spouses and so on – is critical in the design of reintegration responses. Moreover, socio-economic vulnerability amongst trafficking victims is well known and one of the main reasons assistance is provided. Multiple vulnerabilities can create additional strain on the family system, which, in turn, diminishes the ability to function as a safety net and a welfare provider. Tensions potentially heighten the victim’s vulnerability as it can lead to family rejection, not serving as a security net and/or not assisting her in a situation of crisis. The two main sources of additional stress on and conflict in families post-trafficking are tied to financial hardship and stigma. This report is based on interviews with victims of trafficking in Albania, Moldova and Serbia. Details: Oslo, Norway: Fafo; Washington, DC: NEXUS Institute, 2012. 64p.

Author: Brunovskis, Anette Title: Out of sight? Approaches and challenges in the identification of trafficked persons Summary: Identification is a key starting point for protection measures. It is central to ending trafficking situations and facilitating access to assistance. Failure to identify victims of trafficking may lead to deportation from destination countries, where they lack legal migrant status; prosecution for crimes or misdemeanours associated with trafficking; or not being granted relevant rights as trafficked persons under international conventions. This report discusses and analyses challenges in victim identification, based on interviews with 43 victims of trafficking and 99 key informants in the anti-trafficking field in Albania, Moldova and Serbia, between 2006 and 2008.
