The Asia Foundation : Resource Library : Search Results. The Causes and Consequences of Re-trafficking: Evidence from the IOM Human Trafficking Database [ENG0145] - $0.00 : IOM Publications. Description: Although there is consensus among different actors regarding the seriousness and significance of re-trafficking as a problem, there has been very little research conducted into its incidence, cause or consequence. This research paper, funded by United States Department of State Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking (G/TIP), aims to address this gap through an exploratory analysis of known re-trafficking cases in the Human Trafficking Database of the International Organization for Migration.

It is a rare look at the issue of re-trafficking, drawing upon a regional sample of 79 known cases of re-trafficking in the database. The report examines a number of factors a means to better understand and tackle the issue of re-trafficking. These include the individual characteristics of (re-)trafficking victims, their experiences during and post-exit from trafficking, issues on return to their country of origin, and assistance and reintegration needs.

Post Trafficking Livelihoods in Nepal Newcastle University UK, in partnership with the Non Government Organisation ‘Shakti Samuha’ and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Mission in Nepal, is undertaking this research (2010-2012) funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC).

This qualitative research project investigates the opportunities for livelihoods of choice for sexually trafficked women on their return to Nepal. It examines the intersections of sexuality, gender and citizenship in returnees’ livelihood strategies as new democratic processes, supported by national and transnational communities, are unfolding. In Nepal anti-trafficking advocacy is highly visible and through the country’s new Constituent Assembly, fresh debates have arisen that are impinging upon returnee trafficked women. Trafficking. Trafficking involves transporting people away from the communities in which they live and forcing them to work against their will using violence, deception or coercion.

When children are trafficked, no violence, deception or coercion needs to be involved: simply transporting them into exploitative conditions constitutes trafficking. People are trafficked both between countries and within the borders of a state. Trafficking affects countries and families on every continent. Because of its hidden nature, it is difficult to get accurate statistics on the numbers affacted, but the International Labour Organisation (ILO) estimates that at any one time there are some 2.5 million people who have been trafficked and are being subjected to sexual or labour exploitation. Trafficking for sexual exploitation almost exclusively affects women and girls (98 per cent), but trafficking for labour exploitation also affects women more than men (56 per cent being women and girls).
