Europe Operational indicators of trafficking in human beings

16 May 2009 |

Geneva, Switzerland: In the context of a joint ILO-EC project, four sets of operational indicators of trafficking (adults and children for labour and sexual exploitation) have been developed, using the Delphi methodology. The indicators can be used to assess the situation of a potential victim of trafficking with respect to each of the six main elements of the definition of trafficking in human beings, as found in the Palermo Protocol : deceptive recruitment (including transfer and transport), coercive recruitment, recruitment by abuse of vulnerability, exploitation, coercion at destination and abuse of vulnerability at destination. These lists of indicators could become the reference tools for researchers and institutions in charge of data collection of trafficking in human beings in their country.
