In 2022, just under 814 people were registered as possible victims of human trafficking in the Netherlands. This was an increase compared to the previous year, when around 790 possible victims were registered. The highest number of possible victims of human trafficking was registered in 2012 with over 1,700.

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 note: 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.
