Atención Integral a Sobrevivientes de Trata de Personas – Una Perspectiva del Trabajo Social

Las víctimas de trata son personas de diversos orígenes, experiencias de vida y respuestas a su situación de trata. La atención y el apoyo a las víctimas debe reflejar esta diversidad ofreciendo una atención integral que atienda las necesidades individuales de los sobrevivientes a medida que comienzan a reconstruir sus vidas. Un paquete completo de asistencia debería incluir la atención de trabajadores sociales profesionales capacitados para trabajar con las víctimas de trata de personas. La atención destinada a atender las necesidades individuales de cada sobreviviente reduce su vulnerabilidad a ser víctimas de trata o a seguir explotándola y trata de garantizar la reintegración comunitaria y la inclusión social a largo plazo.

Coercion in the Human Trafficking Context

Investigators and prosecutors must be aware of the many various—and often subtle—forms of coercion human traffickers employ to compel victims to provide labor or engage in commercial sex acts. This Practice Guide examines the international definition of coercion from the UN Trafficking Protocol, the types of coercion, and the methods of coercion that are used by traffickers to compel victims.  This analysis, in addition to a helpful list of questions prosecutors need to ask victims to develop strong evidence of coercion, and how to use this evidence at trial, is invaluable to investigators and prosecutors working on human trafficking cases.

Comprehensive Care for Survivors of Human Trafficking – A Social Work Perspective

Protecting victims of trafficking is a key aspect of combatting human trafficking. Victims of trafficking come from diverse backgrounds, have different life experiences, and respond differently to their situations. The care given to survivors of trafficking should be adaptive to these diverse needs in order to reduce their vulnerability to future trafficking and help them re-integrate into their communities. This Practice Guide provides suggestions for improvements to crisis care, medium- and long-term care, and future referrals. This guide also reinforces the importance of social work in victim care and explains relevant occupational concerns.

Development of Intelligence-Led Data to Support Investigations in Trafficking in Persons Cases

Law enforcement efforts against TIP will always be more efficient, and hopefully successful, if they can build upon existing knowledge and be guided by past experience. Pro-active investigations that develop intelligence-led data that can support strong prosecutions provide the best opportunities to disrupt and dismantle criminal enterprises engaged in human trafficking. This Practice Guide helps investigators focus on the importance of identifying, collecting, analyzing, and sharing intelligence-led data that will increase recognition of victims and enable the identification of evidence to build stronger cases.

Inclusion of Marginalized or Underserved Populations: Drafting Considerations for Human Trafficking Instruments

Too many countries’ trafficking in persons (TIP) laws and policies fail to properly serve certain vulnerable populations. Some of these populations are marginalized and extremely vulnerable to trafficking but are unable or unwilling to seek help for a variety of reasons. This Practice Guide helps policymakers carefully consider the needs and vulnerabilities of specific populations to create a national response that will ensure that services are available for, and the national system is responsive to, the full range of TIP victims will ensure that services are available for, and the national system is responsive to, the full range of TIP victims.

Îngrijirea comprehensivă pentru supraviețuitorii/supraviețuitoarele traficului de persoane – perspectiva asistenței sociale

Victimele traficului sunt persoane care vin din diferite medii, au diferite experiențe de viață și situația lor legată de trafic este abordată diferit. Îngrijirea și sprijinul victimelor trebuie să reflecte diversitatea dată atunci când se oferă îngrijire comprehensivă care abordează nevoile individuale ale acestora, pe măsură ce persoanele încep să își refacă viețile. Pachetul comprehensiv de asistență trebuie să includă îngrijiri din partea unor asistenți sociali profesioniști, care sunt instruiți să lucreze cu victimele traficului de persoane. Îngrijirea ajustată nevoilor individuale ale fiecărei persoane reduce vulnerabilitatea acesteia de a fi re-traficată sau exploatată în continuare și va asigura integrarea pe termen lung în comunitate și incluziunea socială.

Non-Criminalization / non-punishment of victims of trafficking

Victims of trafficking should not be criminalized or otherwise punished for acts they commit as a direct result of being trafficked. Beyond protecting rights of victims, this principle of non-punishment also serves criminal justice objectives, by empowering victims to participate in criminal justice processes against traffickers and ensuring that traffickers do not escape justice by deflecting risks of prosecution onto their victims. The non-punishment principle is widely recognized but unevenly applied in practice. This Practice Guide provides practical guidance to law and policymakers, criminal justice practitioners, and service providers on applying the non-punishment principle to ensure victims of trafficking are not punished for crimes committed as a direct result of being trafficked.

Victim Compensation: The Role of the Prosecutor

From the prosecutor’s perspective, obtaining the full cooperation of the victim is often the most challenging aspect of a human trafficking prosecution. Trafficking victims are frequently in need of money to support themselves and their families. The possibility that a victim of trafficking may be entitled to receive compensation from the court or State can be a crucial part of an overall strategy to secure victim cooperation in the criminal justice process.

As such, it is incumbent upon prosecutors to inform victims of their right to seek compensation, explain the filing process to them, and, where appropriate and consistent with national law and procedures, assist the victim in applying for compensation. This Practice Guide explains the right to compensation under international law, considers practical issues and barriers in seeking compensation, provides examples of national legal responses to ensure trafficking victims receive compensation, and offers strategic guidance to prosecutors in seeking compensation.
