IOMs first countertrafficking data collection system was started in 2000 in Kosovo, UNSC

resolution1244administeredKosovobyIOMcountertraffickingstaffwhorequiredasystemto

collect information about trafficking victims they were assisting as well as returning and

referring for assistance in countries of origin. It then expanded from the IOM Pristina

(Kosovo/UNSC 1244) mission, initially to surrounding countries of origin to facilitate the

provision of return and reintegration assistance provided to trafficking victims7, and then to

othercountriesandregionsglobally.

Today, the IOM trafficking database aims to consolidate into one database trafficking cases

assisted by IOM missions and their partners globally. By mobilising the links between field

missions (in origin, transit and destination countries), the database aims to establish a

standardised model for data collection and data sharing (allowing for local and cultural

adaptation through the inclusion of open fields) while reducing the risk of double counting

cases.Thedatabasealsofacilitatesthecrossbordertransferofdatainasecuremanner.

Baselinedata:Datacollected throughbothof thesechannelscanbedisaggregatedbyyear,sex,age,nationality,countryofexploitation,typeoftrafficking,sectorofexploitation,andbasic informationon

thetypeofassistanceprovided. Inaddition,thisdatacanbepresentedfromasourceanddestination

perspective;andatthelocal,regional,andgloballevel.

Duration: The data presented covers the period from January 2011 December 2011 or whereotherwise

specified.

1.2Contextanddatacaveats:

Data collected directly from trafficked persons, as in the IOM approach, is an important source of

informationandhasprovencentral inefforts tounderstandand combathuman trafficking.Research

anddatacollectionconductedwithin theassistance framework, suchas the IOMapproach,can shed

light on a range of issues including risks and vulnerability factors, the needs of different groups of

trafficking victims (e.g. men, women, children, victim of labour and sex trafficking); the gender

dimensions of trafficking; details of the trafficking process and, albeit it to a lesser extent, the

perpetrators involved, theirmodus operandi, the routes used and so on (Surtees & Craggs, 2010).

However, it is importanttounderstandthecontextandnecessarycaveatssurroundingthe IOMcases

datahereinpresentedinthisreport:

ThedataareonlyreflectiveofIOMassistedcases; Read in isolation, itcannot thereforeprovideanaccuratepictureof trafficking inaparticular

countryorregion;

Inaddition,whocomes intoassistance isanopenquestion a focuson trafficking for sexualexploitationhas,inpractice,ledtoatendencytoneglectothertypesofvictims(e.g.males)and

other forms of trafficking (e.g. labour) which, in turn, has led to a sometimes distorted

presentationofthephenomenon,likelytobereflectedintheIOMcasedata.Atthesametime,

the heavy focus on international trafficking has, at worse, led to some cases of internal

trafficking going unassisted and, at best, caused confusion as to the role of crossborder

movementsintrafficking(Surtees&Craggs,2010);

Aproportionof IOMmissions stilldonot currently sharedatavia theglobaldatabaseor theassociate

core

variable

approach.

Therefore,

data

from

these

countries

is

missing.

IOM

is

in

the

processofresolvingthis;

Unlikedatacollected inthecontextoftheglobaldatabasewherethecrossbordertransferofdata allows for individual casemanagementbetweendestination and source countries, data

collected through the core variable approach cannot always be validated against duplicative

entries. It is likely thatan IOMmission inadestinationcountrywill reportupon someof the

samecasesassistedbyanIOMmission inasourcecountry,especiallywheretherehasbeena

voluntaryreturnmovementprovidedbyIOM.ThereasonforthisisthatbothIOMofficeswillbe

involvedinprovidingassistance.Sothecountsofassistancearestillvalid;theymightjustrefer

example,acasemightshowasbeingassistedbyIOMHaitiafterbeingtraffickedtoArgentina.

assistance, provided to the same individual. For this reason, the regional and global totals

provided relate to individualcountsofassistance.Theamountof individualsassistedby IOM

globallyisslightlylower;IOMiscurrentlyworkingonfinalizingthefigureforthetotalnumberof

individuals assisted by IOM globally to complement the number for counts of assistance

(recognisingthatthe IOMglobaldatabaserelatesto20,000,nonduplicative, individualentries
