ICMPD’s principles of work are...

...first, that a comprehensive human rights and victim-centred approach should underlie all anti-trafficking activities. Second, that all relevant actors including civil society should be involved in designing and implementing anti-trafficking responses both at the national as well as on the regional level - we call it multi-agency approach.  The third principle is a strong government ownership of anti-trafficking activities. Fourth, anti-trafficking activities must be sustainable.

Gottfried Zürcher, Director General, ICMPD

Handbook on Anti-Trafficking Data Collection

The Handbook on Anti-Trafficking Data Collection in South-Eastern Europe: Developing Regional Criteria was developed in the framework of the Programme for the Enhancement of Anti-trafficking Responses in South-Eastern Europe - Data Collection and Information Management. It contains a list of indicators for the collection of data on trafficking in human beings - both on the victim side and on the criminal justice side. These indicators have been developed in close co-operation with governmental partners and in consultation with international experts and representatives of international and non-governmental organisations.
