Prevalence estimates of trafficking in persons using statistical definitions: A cross-sectional high-risk community survey in Cape Town, South Africa
Abstract
Current research on trafficking in persons (TIP) relies heavily on legal and prosecutorial definitions. A public health approach has called for population-level assessment; however, identification of TIP victims lacks a standardised operational definition. This study applied the Prevalence Reduction Innovation Forum (PRIF) statistical definitions, developed by the US Department of State, to a community survey in Cape Town, South Africa
