Summary

Re/integration is one of the most important and yet complex aspects of assistance and protection for trafficked persons. However, specialized assistance is often not available for more difficult cases and more attention is needed to tailoring services and assistance to victims with mental health problems, disabilities, dependent children or family members, substance abuse and addiction, no family/social network to return home to, etc. Too little is known about how such cases can be managed in the re/integration process. This paper is the second of a series that will shed light on good practices in the area of re/integration as well as important lessons learned from the day to day re/integration work of Foundation’s Trafficking Victims Reintegration Programme partner organisations in five countries of Southeast Europe.
