Background:

The Evaluation of the effectiveness of measures for the integration of trafficked persons study has been carried out in the frame of the Foster and Improve Integration of Trafficked persons (FIIT) project. The FIIT project has been funded by the EC fund for the integration of third-country nationals, the Italian Ministry of the Interior and the British NGO Migrant Helpline and implemented in five EU Member states: Belgium, France, Hungary, Italy and the United Kingdom from January 2012 to June 2013.

Content:

Based on more than 100 interviews with service providers, policymakers and former victims of trafficking, the study analyses and compares the integration measures dedicated to victims of trafficking in the five case countries.  It also provides recommendations to enhance the integration of victims of trafficking in host countries.

The study examines core concepts (trafficking and integration), compares country case studies (victims of trafficking status, safety and security, shelter, employment, access to welfare and social assistance...) and presents conclusions and recommendations (beneficial practices to overcome obstacles to integration).
