'VULNERABILITY' TO HUMAN TRAFFICKING: A STUDY OF VIET NAM, ALBANIA, NIGERIA AND THE UK Report of Shared Learning Event held in Tirana, Albania: 24-26 October 2017 (original) (raw)

2018, Report of Shared Learning Event held in Tirana, Albania: 24-26 October 2017

This report describes the first stages of an ethically-led, two-year research study into understanding the causes, dynamics and ‘vulnerabilities’ to and resilience against human trafficking in three source countries– Albania, Viet Nam and Nigeria – plus the support needs of people from these countries who have experienced trafficking when identified as potential ‘victims’ of trafficking in the UK. These countries have consistently been the top three countries for referrals of potentially trafficked persons into the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) within the UK. This study has been conducted in partnership between the University of Bedfordshire and the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The research study uses an IOM Determinants of Vulnerability model in its examination and analysis of vulnerabilities to and resilience against human trafficking. This model identifies risk and protective factors for vulnerable migrants across five different levels – individual, household and family, community, structural and situational. The focus of this report is on Albania, detailing knowledge, learning and emerging themes following a Shared Learning Event (SLE) held in Tirana, Albania, that took place between 24 and 26 October 2017.
