 Crisis can exacerbate pre-existing risks of trafficking and give rise to new ones. In a disaster conflict when people are forced to flee, they often lose their livelihood and ability to meet the basic needs. This makes them more vulnerable to trafficking in persons. It is therefore critical for humanitarian actors on the ground to know how to respond to trafficking. IOM is the co-lead of the Global Protection Cluster Task Team on Anti-Trafficking in Humanitarian Action together with Heartland Alliance International, UNHCR and other partners is launching today the introductory guide to anti-trafficking action in internal displacement contexts. This guide addresses the issue of trafficking in all types of crisis. It also gives clear guidance to humanitarian actors on what needs to be included in prevention and protection responses as well as how to identify, refer and manage cases. We firmly believe that this tool will be of great help in integrating anti-trafficking action into existing humanitarian responses and that it will make a difference in meeting the needs and upholding the rights of trafficked persons. We therefore encourage all our partners to make use of this guide in their work.
