Evaluation of the effectiveness of measures for the integration of trafficked persons / : Évaluation de l'efficacité des mesures pour l'intégration des victimes de la traite

INTEGRATION OF TRAFFICKED PERSONS This research report was made possible through support provided by the European Commission in the framework of the FIIT project, co-funded by the European Fund for the Integration of Third Country Nationals, community actions, the Italian Ministry of the Interior and the British NGO Migrant Helpline. [...] A major reason for the selection of these countries was the willingness of the national authorities to participate in this project and in the assessment of integration for victims of trafficking in the first instance, although there are also other factors which allow this selection to represent various facets of the trafficking in persons issue as will be elaborated below. [...] In the case of Hungary, the majority of interviewees (seven of them) were Hungarian nationals, highlighting the position of Hungary as a country of origin and return of trafficked persons. [...] In the case of policymakers across the case countries there are many stakeholders involved in different elements of the fight against trafficking in human beings, and specific roles in the process of reintegration of victims, in particular, are not clearly defined. [...] One of the project objectives was to assess integration, and the potential for improvements in programmes aimed at fostering integration, from the point of view of the victims of trafficking.
