Summary
The research's main objective is thus trying to find out whether State and non State actors undertook actions (if any) to protect victims of trafficking that are respecting the principles set out in UNICEF guidelines, as well as in the UN Convention on the rights of the child and other relevant international treaties. Are these actions tailored to the needs of the child and do they allow each and every child victim of trafficking to pursue his/her right inherent to his/her status of victim, and to his/her status of being a child? Are child rights safeguarded and not infringed by the protection process? The aim of the regional analysis is also to put an emphasis on good practices that were implemented by one state in order to facilitate the exchange of information and therefore reinforce the understanding and the capacity of governments to further improve the protection measures for the benefit of child victims.
