The report examines the availability of statutory compensation schemes for survivors of human trafficking in 20 jurisdictions around the world. The focus of this report is on administrative statutory schemes managed by the state to provide financial compensation to victims of human trafficking. These statutory schemes may involve seeking money from the perpetrator or from a state funded scheme, and they may be specific to human trafficking crimes or general compensation schemes for all victims of crime.
