Description : For many trafficked persons, the physical and
psychological aftermath of a trafficking experience can be severe and enduring.
Health providers may come into contact with victims of trafficking at different
stages of the trafficking process and at different stages of their recovery.
For health practitioners, diagnosing and treating trafficked persons can be
exceptionally challenging. The informed and attentive health care provider can
play an important role in assisting and treating individuals who may have
suffered unspeakable and repeated abuse.
Caring for Trafficked Persons brings together the collective experience of a
broad range of experts from international organizations, universities and civil
society in addressing the consequences of human trafficking. Developed with the
support of the United Nations Global Initiative to Fight Human Trafficking, and
led by IOM and the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, the
handbook provides practical, non-clinical advice to help a concerned health
provider understand the phenomenon of human trafficking, recognize some of the
associated health problems and consider safe and appropriate approaches to
providing healthcare for trafficked persons. This essential tool will be
available in additional languages in late 2009.
