Description : For many trafficked persons, the physical and psychological aftermath of
a trafficking experience can be severe and enduring. Health providers
may come into contact with victims of trafficking at different stages of
the trafficking process and at different stages of their recovery. For
health practitioners, diagnosing and treating trafficked persons can be
exceptionally challenging. The informed and attentive health care
provider can play an important role in assisting and treating
individuals who may have suffered unspeakable and repeated abuse.
Caring
for Trafficked Persons brings together the collective experience of a
broad range of experts from international organizations, universities
and civil society in addressing the consequences of human trafficking.
Developed with the support of the United Nations Global Initiative to
Fight Human Trafficking, and led by IOM and the London School of Hygiene
& Tropical Medicine, the handbook gives practical, non-clinical
advice to help a concerned health provider understand the phenomenon of
human trafficking, recognize some of the associated health problems and
consider safe and appropriate approaches to providing healthcare for
trafficked persons. This essential tool is available in additional
languages.
