- Summary
Access to residence is critical for the safety, stability, and future perspective of trafficked persons. However, laws or policies determining which trafficked persons are granted residence permits, vary substantially between different European countries and generally identified trafficked persons do not have much access to legal stay. This prevents many from claiming their rights, leaving them without protection. To raise awareness about this, LSI published a statement on the European Day of Victims of Crime.
