Family Reunification for Victims of Trafficking through IOM
Implemented by the International Organization for Migration (IOM)
A Joint Call for Practices by the Migrant Protection Platform and the Network's Hub
For this year’s World Day Against Trafficking in Persons (WADiP), under the theme “Leave No Child Behind in the Fight Against Human Trafficking”, the Platform and the Migration Network Hub launched a Joint Call for Practices of programmes and policies relevant to Objective 10 of the Global Compact for Migration (Prevent, combat and eradicate trafficking in persons in the context of international migration).
Key Highlights from the Practice
Since its start, the US TIP Program has reunited over 3000 family members with more than 1,300 victims of human trafficking in the United States. The program's continued engagement with NGOs, attorneys and survivors demonstrates the uniqueness of services provided and the long-lasting impact on family unity, as many families are reunited after years of separation and trauma caused by human trafficking.
