Description:
|
The main objectives of this research were to investigate forced labour resulting both from trafficking and non-trafficking related migration, in the context of irregular migration from Ukraine. The study, based on questionnaires completed with returned migrants in Ukraine, focus-group interviews with selected migrants, and interviews with experts, focussed on the profiles of trafficked and non-trafficked victims of forced labour as opposed to 'successful' migrants. In order to investigate forms of coercion and routes into forced labour, the distinction between trafficked and non-trafficked victims of forced labour was adopted for the purpose of the study to differentiate between those deceived from the outset of the migration project by a recruiter from those that were deceived and coerced at a later stage.
Recruitment methods of both victims of trafficking and other migrants were investigated as well as ways in which the forced labour employment situation in the country of destination was exited. In addition, the study aimed to establish objective criteria of forced labour as an outcome of human trafficking as well as irregular migration. |
