A Practical Guide for professionals to ameliorate and harmonize the identification process and enhance the quality of assistance provided to victims of human trafficking.

An updated version of the guide will be available at the end of 2013.

This manual, available to associations and institutions that work with trafficking victims, includes examples taken from the fieldwork of the National Network's partners, as well as experiences from other French and international organizations and public institutions involved in this area.

After a general overview of the human trafficking phenomenon, the guide details the trafficking routes and the various forms of exploitation. It provides definitions of human trafficking and what it means to be a victim, in addition to a set of indicators that may be used to identify victims. The different stages of victim care are also described, including the evaluation and use of cultural mediation, the importance of security and the necessity of multidisciplinary cooperation.

The Guide also provides a valuable description of the legal aspects involved in victim support and the accompaniment of victims. Many legal implications are considered, including police custody, residence permits, access to care, job placement, voluntary repatriation, and access to shelters. The technical information is supported by case studies.

Feed-back is an in-depth analysis of measures of assistance available in six European countries. The analysis is based on evaluations that were directly provided by victims. The study also made it possible to follow the lives of the trafficking victim interviewees.

The study is the result of Daphné II, a European project, and it was realized by six organizations and public institutions: The Municipality of Madrid (Spain), The Association on the Road (Italy), Missing Persons' Families Support Center (Lithuania), Caritas Bucarest and Adpare (Romania), The Foundation Nadja (Bulgaria), and the Association ALC (coordinator of the project). L'Institut d'Enseignement Supérieur de Travail Social (IESTS) in Nice was an associate of the project. It was financed by the European Union, DGCS, and the Municipality of Madrid.
