Developed in the framework of a series of training seminars for police, prosecutors and judges organised by the Romanian General Prosecutors Office and the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute of Human Rights in Vienna, in partnership with La Strada International and the Deutsche Stiftung für Internationale Rechtliche Zusammenarbeit, and financed under the AGIS programme of the European Commission. The handbook contains information about the definition of trafficking in human beings and international and European instruments to combat it.

The handbook comprises also basic guidelines for interrogating a victim of trafficking. The annex gives an overview of relevant institutions and organisations in Romania and the Netherlands.
