Summary
The Way Forward – Recommendations to prevent human trafficking and exploitation, and to protect and improve the status of trafficked and exploited persons and persons at risk of trafficking and exploitation is one of the outputs of a project that La Strada Czech Republic implemented in 2005-2007. The project focused on the social inclusion of trafficked and exploited persons. Its main objectives were to examine opportunities and limits for long-term cooperation with the target group, including the option of employment, and to collect information on the obstacles that can prevent the successful social inclusion of those persons. The recommendations summarise the problems that in our opinion complicate effective solutions for the issue of human trafficking and exploitation, and impede or entirely obstruct the social inclusion of trafficked and exploited persons, and may worsen their social exclusion. They are divided into general recommendations, which concern options for prevention and intervention from a broader viewpoint, and specific recommendations, which describe the obstacles that arise from the current legislation and practice.
