This report considers how effectively the Action Plan to Tackle Trafficking in Persons and to Enhance Protection of Foreign Domestic Helpers in Hong Kong (the Action Plan) 1 has been implemented and, specifically, whether it has helped trafficked people access justice in Hong Kong SAR.
To inform this research, Stop Trafficking Of People (STOP) conducted in-depth interviews with 11 migrant workers who had been trafficked to Hong Kong for sexual or labour exploitation, and four civil society organisations that support trafficked people. The interviews explored trafficked migrants’ experience of using the justice system and how existing procedures might be improved to better meet survivors’ needs.
