In 2022, the majority of the possible victims of human trafficking registered in the Netherlands registered by CoMensha were exploited for sexual services. Over 390 people registered in 2022 were registered as possible victims of sexual exploitation, while almost 350 were exploited for labor or service provision.
Number of newly registered victims of human trafficking in the Netherlands in 2022, by sector
CoMensha (the National Coordination Centre against Human Trafficking) provides information about the extent and nature of human trafficking in the Netherlands through registration of (potential) victims of trafficking. In addition, CoMensha provides policy advice and training and runs a national helpdesk.
The source adds the following notes:
A victim can be exploited in multiple sectors. In that case all the relevant sectors are counted. Hence the number of sectors is higher than the number of victims.
CoMensha provides an insight into the nature and extent of human trafficking and registers possible victims of human trafficking. The reason the term 'possible' victims is used is that in a chain approach there is no definitive set of criteria that a person must fulfill in order to be a 'real' victim of trafficking.
The figures concern the newly registered possible victims of human trafficking.
