Third-country national victims of trafficking in human beings: detection, identification and protection

On 31 March 2022 a study of the European Migration Network on third-country national victims of trafficking in human beings was published

Trafficking in human beings is a crime against the victim's fundamental rights that can take several forms, such as sexual exploitation, forced labour or services, slavery and servitude-related practices, as well as the removal of organs.

This EMN study maps the framework at EU and national level relevant to the detection, identification and protection of presumed third country national victims.

Third-country nationals account for more than half of all registered victims in EU Member States, with unaccompanied minors and those in the process of seeking asylum being at particular risk of becoming victims.
