The Danish authorities have been asked to come up with effective and precautionary methods to alert the public about human trafficking for the purpose of labor abuse. This is principally in the agriculture, construction and cleaning sectors. The council of Europe’s group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human beings (GRETA) expressed concern about a government focus on illegal immigration and identifying trafficking victims.
GRETA calls for the Danish government to ensure that victims of trafficking are treated as persons who are victims of human trafficking instead of being seen as traffickers themselves. In addition, victims of trafficking should be allowed the process of recovery. Finally, it demands that victims should be given the time to reflect on their trauma instead lengthy suspension to organize their repatriation from the country.
