UNICEF Publications on Child Trafficking

This Reference Guide is meant to serve as an implementation book for the UNICEF Guidelines on the Protection of the Rights of Child Victims of Trafficking as it gives information about the steps and procedures that constitute ‘good practice’ in the protection and assistance of child victims of trafficking. As such, the Guide is a practical tool for policy makers and practitioners from government, non-governmental and international organizations responsible for protecting and assisting child victims of trafficking across Europe.

These guidelines are based on international human rights instruments and describe standards for the protection of trafficked children from their identification through to their recovery and integration. The aim of these guidelines is to assist governments and State actors, international organizations and NGOs or other service providers as a platform for developing policies and practices, at the national, bilateral and international levels.
