More specifically, this call is expected to contribute to enhanced identification, assistance, support and integration of third-country national victims of trafficking in human beings, addressing the challenges identified in the Commission’s Fourth Report on the progress made in the fight against trafficking in human beings and in trends observed through the EU-wide data collection.
Detailed Call Description
The specific objectives of this call are to:
- facilitate the prevention of labour exploitation of third-country nationals, as well as awareness raising, including in third countries on the risks of labour exploitation and fake job offers;
- facilitate the prevention of sexual exploitation of third-country nationals, as well as awareness raising, including in third countries on the risks of trafficking in human beings, taking into account the online dimension of the crime;
- raise awareness on the demand that fosters trafficking in human beings for the purpose of labour and sexual exploitation;
- facilitate the early identification of third-country national victims trafficked for the purpose of labour exploitation, including in the context of labour inspections and through cooperation with the private sector;
- facilitate the identification of third-country national victims of trafficking, especially children, trafficked for the purpose of exploitation of criminal activities;
- provide specialised assistance and support, including in specialised facilities/shelters, to third-country national victims of trafficking in human beings for all exploitative purposes, considering their specific needs, such as age, sex, and the physical and psychological consequences of the form/s of exploitation they have been subjected to;
- with the contribution of the above, facilitate durable solutions for:
- the integration of third-country national victims of trafficking in human beings in the host society, which take into account the individual needs of the victims and aimed at preventing re-trafficking; or
- the safe and sustainable voluntary return of third-country national victims of trafficking in human beings, which build upon appropriate risk assessments and prevent their re-trafficking.
Proposals should have a concrete operational impact on the identification, assistance, support of third-country national victims of trafficking in human beings, be it in the context of integration or safe return.
