Exploratory Assessment of Trafficking in Persons in the Caribbean Region

This is an exploratory assessment of trafficking in persons in the Caribbean (Bahamas, Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Netherlands Antilles, St Lucia, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago), including level and scope of human trafficking  and the characteristics and profiles of potential victims and human traffickers. The study is based on a literature review, desk legal review, and an exploratory field assessment by national researchers within each participating country. Media reviews, national surveys, and key informant interviews were used to develop country reports on the context of human trafficking in the participating Caribbean countries. This material was then compiled into this regional study.
