Trafficking in Persons: Victim Identification and Assistance (Training Guide)

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Nigeria produced two manuals on strengthening law enforcement response to gender-based violence and trafficking in persons in the current humanitarian situation in North-East Nigeria. The manuals were designed based on the recommendations from the training needs assessment conducted by IOM in North-East Nigeria. The two manuals integrate training materials and resources developed by other agencies and experts, provide recommendations from the assessment report and operationalize key guidelines, including those from the Inter-Agency Standing Committee.
