Description : IOM has had some 13 years of experience
in implementing counter-trafficking activities and has
provided assistance to over 14,000 victims of
trafficking in all regions of the world. With a growing
number of organizations, especially local NGOs, now
providing or intending to provide assistance to victims
of trafficking, IOM would like to share its experience
and lessons learned. This Handbook summarizes and
systematizes this experience. IOM recognizes that each
victim is unique and requires and desires different
assistance. As well, the nature of trafficking is
different around the world and is ever evolving,
requiring changing responses. Therefore this Handbook is
not meant to provide a single methodology for the
provision of assistance to victims of trafficking, but
to offer suggestions and guidance, based on IOM’s many
years of experience. IOM hopes that it will be helpful
to all organizations providing such assistance to
victims, but especially for organizations who are just
beginning to develop victim assistance programmes and
can benefit from IOM’s experiences. This Handbook
provides guidance and advice necessary to effectively
deliver a full range of assistance to victims of
trafficking from the point of initial contact and
screening up to the effective social reintegration of
the individuals concerned.
