These services will be accountable to the vulnerable, ensure they are fairly treated by duty bearers and incorporate feedback from victims and vulnerable to ensure services meet their true needs and act as a medium for work based policy advocacy.
Legal Counselling for victims of human trafficking and abuse. Services for legal counselling of victims of human trafficking and abuse will continue to be arranged with an emphasis on ensuring adequate witness protection, facilitating the presentation of high quality testimonial evidence from victims and following up on the arrest and prosecution of human trafficking agents. The process of Victim Separation will continue to be of crucial importance. Genuine victims must be separated out from voluntary cases early on in the process if quality testimony and full cooperation of the witness is to be guaranteed.
