Human trafficking victims.

Prosecuting transnational crimes such as people trafficking is a complex and difficult task. It is often the case that the people who have been trafficked are the primary witnesses and provide the bulk of the evidence against a trafficker. Yet for a range of reasons, trafficked persons may be reluctant or unable to participate in criminal investigations and prosecutions. Using data from cases in the International Organization for Migration's Indonesian Counter-Trafficking Module database, the factors that inhibit a trafficked person's willingness and ability to be involved in criminal proceedings are assessed and considered within a broader review of current research. An understanding of these factors may assist policymakers and practitioners--both in Australia and throughout the region--to better support trafficked people and increase their willingness and ability to participate in criminal proceedings.
