Summary
These guidelines are for care providers or caregivers. This means anyone directly or indirectly involved in caring for child victims of trafficking. These standards outline and explain what must, must not, and should be done at every stage of the recovery and integration process. The guidelines (which are based on a review of existing shelter-based rehabilitations services in Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Thailand followed by national and regional consultations) also include examples of good and bad practices.
