Data collection on trafficking in human beings in the EU

Metadaten zur Veröffentlichung

This report provides the results and findings of the fifth EU-wide data collection on trafficking in human beings in the EU and analysis of the criminal justice statistical data for the years 2017-2018. Data was collected from the 28 EU Member States in the reference period on the number of registered (presumed and identified) victims of trafficking in human beings and on the number of traffickers who were suspected, prosecuted or convicted, taking into account their sex, age, citizenship and the forms of exploitation. Criminal justice data was also collected with regard to the use of services exacted from victims, in particular as to suspects, prosecutions and convictions and additional breakdown by sex and age. The United Kingdom left the European Union on 31 January 2020. The reference period for this report is 2017-2018, while the UK was an EU Member State. The study therefore includes data on the United Kingdom. Where data significantly changes the EU-level picture, additional data analysis is provided for the EU-27 and EU-28. Most of the graphs contained in the different sections show figures for the EU‑28; however, when the comparison between the EU-27 and EU-28 is particularly relevant to illustrate, graphs providing figures for the EU-27 are included. This data collection has been carried out as a coordinated effort between the national rapporteurs and/or equivalent mechanisms on trafficking in human beings and the European Commission, Eurostat and the relevant national statistical authorities. The data provided in this study has been collected by Eurostat from the EU Member States via the national statistical offices. The European Commission ensured a coordinated approach to the data collection at national level, by involving the national rapporteurs and/or equivalent mechanisms on trafficking in human beings together with relevant authorities and civil society organisations. Eurostat provided support for this study through data management and quantitative analysis of statistics, whereas the Directorate-General for Migration and Home Affairs provided the analysis for this study. Similarly to earlier data collections, data in this report is drawn from administrative sources. For traffickers and suspected traffickers, the sources of data include police, prosecutors, and courts. For victims, the sources of data include police, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), border guards, immigration officers, and labour inspectors, among others. Registered victims are composed of two categories: presumed and identified. In line with earlier data collections, victims are referred to as ‘presumed’ when they meet the criteria of Directive 2011/36/EU but have not been formally identified by the relevant authority as victims of trafficking in human beings or who have declined to be formally or legally identified as trafficked. Victims are considered ‘identified’ for persons who have been formally identified as victims of trafficking in human beings by the relevant formal authority in Member States’, this is to say after a process that establishes that they are victims; often, but not always, involving the police. ‘Identified’ and ‘presumed’ victims are referred together as ‘registered victims’. The actual number of victims is likely to be significantly higher than the number registered and reported in data collections.
