Towards international statistical guidelines on the prevalence of trafficking in persons.

This side event to the 55th Session of the United Nations Statistical Commission will support the agenda item on "data and indicators for the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development", notably SDG Indicator 16.2.2, by providing a first opportunity to discuss the challenges of prevalence estimates at a global level.

Every year, more than 50,000 people are identified as victims of trafficking in persons. Among them, many are supported, but little is known about those who remain in trafficking and exploitative situations, beyond the reach of authorities and protection services. SDG Indicator 16.2.2. on "Number of victims of human trafficking per 100,000 population, by sex, age and form of exploitation" aims at tracking the world's progress in reducing the prevalence of trafficking in persons, but no universal statistical standard yet exists to collect robust and comparable data on the actual scale of the phenomenon. The new #STATIP (Standard Tools for Analysis of Trafficking in Persons) project, conducted jointly, at the UN level, by the International Labour Organization (ILO), the UNODC - United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime and the IOM - UN Migration aims to close that gap, by creating a #statisticalframework to define #traffickinginpersons for prevalence surveys, with submission to the United Nations Statistical Commission expected in 2026. This framework will facilitate the measurement of prevalence by improving the quality and consistency of local, national, regional and global Statistical estimates, and thereby providing reliable evidence to devise more effective and refined anti-trafficking policies.
