Harvard University Committee on Human Rights Studies

This consultancy report is the result of research carried out in 2008 on the identification and referral of trafficked persons, in particular trafficked children, to procedures of international protection. The study was conducted in 10 countries: Norway, Italy, Ireland, Serbia, Nigeria, South Africa, Thailand, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico and Israel. These countries span 5 regions and are known to be affected by human trafficking. They are also diverse in a range of aspects: some are developed, others developing countries; some have instituted successful, rudimentary identification and referral systems, others have not; some are predominantly destination countries, others are also source and transit countries for human trafficking. Jacqueline Bhabha, a lecturer at the Harvard Law School, supervised the research conducted by Christina Alfirev, a Master's Degree candidate at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy.
