Combat Trafficking in Persons Toolkit is intended to provide guidance, showcase promising practice and recommend resources in thematic areas.

In pursuit of these goals, the Toolkit seeks to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and information among policymakers, law enforcers, judges, prosecutors, victim service providers and members of civil society who are working at different levels towards these same objectives.
