The UK-based nonprofit organization Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) has long been dedicated to investigating human trafficking in distant water fisheries and addressing IUU fishing. In 2021, EJF reviewed the Fisheries Agency's methods, content, and techniques for interviewing fishers and released a report with recommendations for improvement. The report emphasized that interviews play a crucial role in combating forced labor and human trafficking. It advocated for a victimcentered interview approach, highlighting that victims of trafficking or forced labor often live in fear. Thus, creating a safe, private, and comfortable interview environment is essential to building trust and encouraging interviewees to share their genuine experiences. For instance, in the case of fishers, interviews should take place far from the vessel, away from other crew members and company representatives. EJF stressed that accurate and critical information can be obtained only through careful and well-organized interviews, enabling effective action against forced labor. The Ministry of the Interior's National Immigration Agency hosted the “2024 International Workshop on Strategies for Combating Human Trafficking,” inviting experts from various countries to share practical experiences. Many speakers repeatedly emphasized the victim-centered approach. Unlike traditional anti-trafficking efforts, which often focused on perpetrators and prioritized crime suppression, recent strategies have shifted to place greater emphasis on victim care. This shift aims to more comprehensively achieve the goals of protection and prevention outlined in anti-human trafficking strategies. Regarding the transparency of information on penalties, OMFR Secretary-General Huang Yu-chung suggested during the forum that penalties and subsequent follow-ups could be disclosed similarly to the penalties for illegal fishing practices.
