These include a significant reduction in the number of VAWG victims, to be achieved by challenging the deep-rooted social norms, that all services make early intervention and prevention a priority and that women and girls will be able to access the support they need, when they need it, including accommodation-based support for the most vulnerable victims.

A substantial proportion of perpetrators were female.

Discusses the significant costs of human trafficking operations, particularly monitoring and diseconomies of scale. It finds that for a ring operating between Nigeria and Europe, offenders act as independent agents, in a similar way to contractors, and the trafficking ring does not appear to be run along ethnic or family lines, but there is a clear division of labour and role specialization.
