Global Call for Evidence Introduction This study is being conducted by the Institute of Applied Social Research at the University of Bedfordshire (UoB) in partnership with Every Child Protected Against Trafficking (ECPAT UK). It is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) in the UK through the Modern Slavery and Human Rights Policy and Evidence Centre (Modern Slavery PEC). This partnership is a response to an invitation by Modern Slavery PEC to support original and innovative research to identify ways that the current support system can be improved to ensure better short, medium and long-term outcomes for young people who have experienced human trafficking and/or modern slavery. At the heart of this study is: The need to transform systems and outcomes of care and protection for children and young people who have experienced human trafficking and/or modern slavery The need to hear what this looks like from the perspectives of young people The need to understand what outcomes are important to young people and what the pathways towards these outcomes might look like in practice The goal of this global call for evidence The purpose of this call is to identify evidence on outcomes for young people who have experienced human trafficking or modern slavery within different contexts around the world. We are especially interested to hear about young people’s outcomes in relation to their participation, empowerment, inclusion, protection and recovery. We are also interested to hear about practices, approaches and programmes that promote positive outcomes across these 5 outcomes areas. We also want to identify examples of child participation by child human trafficking survivors in research and, potentially, any examples of what works in interventions in human trafficking work more generally that may hold potential for transferrable learning for promoting positive outcomes in children and young people. ECPAT UK and the University of Bedfordshire especially welcome examples of practice, reports and other resources relating to outcomes for child victims and their participation in research. You can email any document or answer the questions below, or both! For information on definitions, please see our Definitions and Guidelines document.
