Minors and human trafficking in France Minors and trafficking in human beings in France: From identification to care — what are they practical? What protections,

Abstract

National audience, are the factors that make Europe particularly attractive to many today. This has fostered the development of criminal practices of taking advantage of the migration desire of those who feel they have nothing to lose by leaving their country under sometimes very uncertain conditions. Individuals or organised groups have therefore put in place strategies to submit the weakest, creating ways of relations that can be described as capture. Their aim is to exploit migrants once they have reached their destination. Some of these migrants are minors and are therefore particularly deprived to withstand the facts. It is in response to these criminal practices that many legislative texts have been adopted, both at supranational and national level. Some provisions apply to all victims of trafficking in human beings, others are devoted exclusively to the issue of the protection of minors. But this is not enough, without questioning the extent to which minors who are victims of trafficking actually enjoy the rights declared? The Council of Europe’s Group of Experts on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings addressed this issue in particular when assessing the implementation of the Anti-Trafficking Convention. It notes that it has urged 31 countries to improve the identification and assistance of child victims of trafficking. In France, the national action plan against trafficking in human beings drawn up by the Inter-ministerial Mission for the Protection of Women Victims of Violence and Combating Trafficking in Human Beings (MIPROF), published in 2014, sets out the objective of ‘ensuring unconditional protection for minors who are victims of trafficking’. The purpose of this study is to take stock of the protection measures available to minors who are victims of trafficking in human beings in France, in particular in the light of the objectives pursued by this plan.This study highlights two elements in particular. The identification of minors who are victims of trafficking in human beings remains largely inussive, not least because of the lack of work with them on the mechanisms of control that bind them to the perpetrators of exploitation. The support process rarely allows all the rights of these young people to be effective, as the identification processes are lengthy and entrusted to many actors. The aim of this study is to improve these two points by better understanding the obstacles to identifying these young people and clarifying the steps on which their support should be based.
