This assessment should involve direct engagement with survivors of trafficking to understand their needs and preferences.

Training should focus on trauma-informed care, victim-centered approaches, and best practices in supporting survivors of human trafficking.

Collaboration is essential for expanding the reach and impact of victim support services.

Monitoring and Evaluation: Implement a robust monitoring and evaluation framework to assess the effectiveness of the strengthened victim support services and rehabilitation programs. Regular feedback from survivors and relevant stakeholders should inform continuous improvement efforts.
