- Summary
- The report examines some of the issues faced when undertaking research with assisted trafficking victims - for example, data quality and comparability, relationships and boundaries between service provision and research, representatively in trafficking research and assumptions, biases and agendas in trafficking research and data collection. It is hoped that by making explicit some of the strengths and also limitations of data collections with assisted victims, and more specifically what can be learned from the example of the IOM database, that research drawn from these data can be read and understood in this context, including what this information does (and does not) tell us about trafficking (and trafficking victims).
