Fifty per cent of all victims of human trafficking in the Netherlands become repeat victims within seven years. This conclusion is drawn by the Dutch National Rapporteur on Trafficking in Human Beings and Sexual Violence against Children, Mr. Herman Bolhaar, on the basis of his last Human Trafficking Victims Monitoring Report 2016–2020. He therefore calls for the ‘urgent need to offer victims better and more active protection to avoid a repetition of their ordeal – or worse”.
The office of the Dutch National Rapporteur on Trafficking in Human Beings and Sexual Violence against Children published English summaries of tree most recent publications. These include Human Trafficking Victims Monitoring Report 2015-2019; which provides a statistical update on known victims of human trafficking in the period 2015-2019: how many victims are known, what are their characteristics, what types of exploitation are they the victim of and through which authorities are they identified?
