The voices and experiences of victims remain central to the counter-trafficking movement, but must always be informed by key principles such as informed consent and respect for individual autonomy and rights.
The document should be consulted by NGOs whenever they are obtaining images of people for use in their publications or other media. Consent should always be obtained prior to the use of any image of a person in accordance with the guidance set out in this document.
