This report sets out to fulfil a three-fold task. One, to delineate the geographical routes of trafficked persons. Two, to explore the modus operandi of human traffickers, and three to examine the traffickers’ responses to law enforcement policies. In order to do so, four country desk studies were conducted in Bulgaria, Cyprus, Romania, and the Netherlands by the Animus Association Foundation, Cyprus Police, National Agency against Traficking in Persons and the International La Strada Association (La Strada International), respectively.
