(Karin Burgerhout, FairWork) FairWork is an NGO fighting human trafficking in the Netherlands. Part of our work is victim support in the field of severe labour exploitation. Within our work with victims of exploitation, compensation is a recurrent theme. Both experience and research show that compensation is vital for personal recovery and reintegration after trafficking. In this workshop we will look into possibilities for compensation after human trafficking by studying a recent case. We will compare the options within the scope of both criminal and civil procedures and discuss which other routes to compensation are available to victims of trafficking. Throughout this workshop, the victim’s perspective will be leading. There will be room for discussion on the meaning of compensation and on the ways of supporting victims in their efforts to obtain compensation, as well as for the exchange of (international) experiences on this topic.
