Indicators of international protection for victims of trafficking should also be included. All necessary measures should be adopted to ensure participation of governmental institutions, including national asylum authorities, international organizations and civil society organizations where appropriate, in the general assessment of protection needs of trafficking victims. This can help determine, from a technical and humanitarian perspective, which protection measure is most suitable for each individual case and ensure appropriate referral mechanisms are in place where parallel protection regimes exist.

Such interventions could include information campaigns, legal migration counseling and return assistance.
