30 July 2022 – For this World Day Against Trafficking in Persons and in partnership with the Regional Support Office of the Bali Process, the NEXUS Institute has just launched a set of publications on developing a Directory of Services for Trafficking Victims, including a tool to provide step-by-step guidance on how to design and implement a Directory of Services for Trafficking Victims.

How to Develop a Directory of Services for Trafficking Victims: A Tool for Practitioners (2022)

This tool provides practitioners with step-by-step guidance on how to design and implement a Directory of Services for Trafficking Victims. It explains what a Directory of Services for Trafficking Victims is, who it is for and why it is important. It then offers a detailed roadmap of how to design and implement a Directory of Services for Trafficking Victims in a specific area or country. This tool includes an accompanying Microsoft Excel template in which practitioners can compile information about services to be included in the Directory of Services. A “how to” video is also available, offering clear guidance on how to design, prepare and maintain an up-to-date Directory of Services for Trafficking Victims.

We invite you to learn more in this interview with the NEXUS Institute and in this short overview video.

This set of tools for practitioners accompanies our series providing easy access to high quality research and guidance on victim protection that can be used in direct daily work. Recent publications (available in English, Bahasa Indonesian, Malaysian, Vietnamese, and Thai) focus on trafficking victim identification, trafficking victim protection and support, recovery and reintegration of trafficking victims, and special and additional measures for child trafficking victims. Forthcoming publications will cover special and additional measures for victim-witnesses and access to remedies.
