Identification<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There is currently no formal system for identifying a person as a victim of human trafficking in Sweden. Hence, anyone with relevant knowledge can identify presumed victims of human trafficking. The identification process works in the same way for presumed adult and child victims of human trafficking. Social services have a special responsibility for children and young people<\/p>\n\n\n\n
