Without
statistics, it is not only impossible to measure the magnitude of human
trafficking, it is alsodifficult to foresee the appropriate policies,
operational and legislative responses and efficient implementation of
initiatives. Insufficient data and a lack of comparable analyses that are
reliable and up-to-date hamper the efforts of almost every agency dealing with
trafficking, its victims and perpetrators. Such a challenge contravenes the
efforts of policy-makers and other practitioners to respond effectively in
assisting and protecting victims, preventing and combating trafficking and
monitoring and verifying the implementation of national laws, international
protocols and conventions. A serious effort in fighting human trafficking at
the European Union level requires a clear understanding of current trends with
regards to victims, traffickers, their modus operandi, travel routes and
different forms of human trafficking (i.e. commercial sexual exploitation,
labour exploitation, organ trafficking, child trafficking, trafficking for
forced marriage and internal trafficking).
