Collection and cross-analysis of the national legislation against human traffic implemented in the partner countries

The Headway partnership gathered and analysed current anti-trafficking legislation in Estonia, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Poland and Portugal in order to identify the strengths and the gaps of the national frameworks supporting victims persons and fighting the trafficking phenomena. Considering that the majority of identified trafficking cases are for the purpose of sexual exploitation and that such cases, therefore, may be mistaken for "mere" prostitution, it was agreed that the legal provisions concerning prostitution should be assessed as well.
