The Government is to launch a new action plan today aimed at preventing and combating human trafficking.
Key objectives of the plan include the creation of a more victim-centred approach and the detection and prosecution of those involved in trafficking.
However, a report from Mary Immaculate College in Co Limerick has suggested that the true figure of those trafficked into Ireland may be up to 38% higher than previously thought. There are also plans to provide victims with protection from deportation and exit pathways for individuals impacted by prostitution.
The plan’s ultimate goal is to create a more victim-centred approach and to detect and prosecute those involved in trafficking.
