Survivor-Informed Indicators for the Identification of Victims and Survivors of Trafficking in Human Beings
Adults and children from any cultural, socio-economic, ethnic and religious background can become victims of trafficking in human beings (THB). Victims may have had nurturing families, access to secondary and tertiary education or professional careers before being trafficked, but understanding any pre-existing vulnerabilities should also give a better understanding of the categories of people most often targeted by traffickers.
These survivor-informed indicators for identifying victims of THB aim to help address the gap in identification tools, by reflecting the knowledge, professional expertise and lived experience of survivor leaders from ISTAC.
The Indicator checklists can be downloaded here.
