Trafficking in persons has been a reported problem in Eastern Africa for several years, but at the time International Organisation for Migration (IOM) began their research, few primary research studies that systematically investigate and describe the phenomenon had been published. IOM’s research efforts have focused on investigating the factors that may be facilitating human trafficking in Eastern Africa; developing profiles of both traffickers and their victims, exploring the activities, means and purposes of trafficking in the region; and the health conditions of trafficked people in Eastern Africa.
