Abstract
While various human trafficking screening tools exist to help stakeholders identify indicators and risk of trafficking, few tools are designed specifically for use amongst migrants and refugees. Via interviews with anti-trafficking stakeholders, the following qualitative study describes what tools stakeholders currently use to asses trafficking amongst migrants and refugee, and if stakeholders desire a new tool specific for migrant/refugee populations. Thematic results indicate that most stakeholders are not using validated tools for trafficking victims, let alone migrants and refugees (n=5, 38.5%). Of the total sample, 62% of participants (n=8) reported various screening discrepancies across stakeholders. Additionally, the majority of participants reported needing a screening tool specified for their migrant/refugee populations (n=9, 69%). The most commonly reported items for inclusion on a migrant/refugee specific tool related to: workplace conditions and employer relationship (n=7 54%), recruitment (n=7, 54%), and document confiscation (n=7, 54%).
