LEFÖ-IBF has worked together with state authorities and civil society organisations in the Task Force on Combating Trafficking in Human Beings to develop the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) that every EU Member State must adopt under the new EU Directive 2024/1712.
That is why LEFÖ-IBF, together with Asociación Comisión Católica Española de Migración (ACCEM) and another civil society organisation from Belgium, was consulted by Global Human Rights Defence (GHRD), a UN ECOSOC-accredited human rights organisation based in The Hague, Netherlands, for their article on the NRM and the challenges surrounding its implementation.
The article mentions the topics as follows:
- Victim identification
- Tackling increasingly digital, and therefore less visible, forms of exploitation
- Inconsistent gender-sensitive and trauma-informed support
- The planned return hubs in third countries
