ECPAT UK. (2011). On the Safe Side: Principles for the Safe Accommodation of Child Victim’s of Trafficking. 50 p. “ECPAT UK explored the issues around what makes accommodation safe for child victims of trafficking by undertaking structured face-to-face interviews and a roundtable discussion with a range of professionals, including local authority children’s services, the police, NGOs and organisations accommodating child victims of trafficking, as well as ascertaining the views of the young people themselves. This led to the formulation of 10 child-centred principles concerning the provision of safe accommodation for child victims and/or suspected child victims of trafficking.” http://www.childtrafficking.com/Docs/ecpat_uk_11_safe_side_0912.pdf
ECPAT UK. (2011). Watch Over Me: A System of Guardianship for Child Victims of Trafficking. 40 p. "This report represents ECPAT UK’s response to the Government’s position. It has been drafted on the basis of communication with a range of parliamentarians, countries in which a system of guardianship has been introduced, two workshops with ECPAT UK’s Youth Group1, and a comprehensive legal analysis of the UK’s national and international obligations to child victims of trafficking. It finds that the UK has failed to prioritise the best interests of child victims of trafficking, and has failed to identify and subsequently provide for the distinct needs of these children. The impact of these failures continues to be disproportionate, serious and a real cause for concern." http://www.ecpat.org.uk/sites/default/files/watch_over_me.pdf
International Rescue Committee (IRC). (2012). Caring for Child Survivors of Sexual Abuse: Guidelines for Health and Psychosocial Service Providers in Humanitarian Settings. 250 p. “The Caring for Child Survivors (CCS) of Sexual Abuse Guidelines were developed to respond to the gap in global guidance for health and psychosocial staff providing care and treatment to child survivors of sexual abuse in humanitarian setting. The CCS Guidelines are based on global research and evidenced-based field practice, and bring a much-needed fresh and practical approach to helping child survivors, and their families, recover and heal from the oftentimes devastating impacts of sexual abuse.”
Rigby P., Malloach M. and N.H. Smith. (2012). A Report on Child Trafficking and Care Provision: Towards Better Survivor Care. 39 p. “The aim of this review is to examine the most effective models of care and support for children who arrive in the UK and are identified as trafficked. While the components of models of good practice may also apply to UK children who have been moved and exploited, the focus of this review is on non-UK nationals. The commercial and sexual exploitation of children within the UK is a serious concern; while models of good practice are developing in this area that have much to offer responses to trafficked children, the review maintains a focus on trafficking which requires the elements of both movement and exploitation to meet with international definitions. The review draws on the provisions of the Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings and the EU Directive on Human Trafficking, highlighting international obligations in relation to the care and support of child victims.”
Sexual Violence Research Initiative. (2012). Care and Support of Male Survivors of Conflict-Related Sexual Violence. Briefing Paper. 12 p. “This briefing paper provides commentary on sexual violence against men and boys in conflict settings, and highlights promising programming and therapeutic approaches in the care and support of male survivors. It is based on key elements of the research and practitioner literature and discussions held on the Sexual Violence Research Initiative (SVRI) Online Discussion Forum in February and March 2010, on care and support for men and boy survivors of sexual violence in conflict settings.”
United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences. (2011). Psychosocial Care for Women in Shelter Homes. 150 p. ‘The psycho-social rehabilitation of women who are brought to shelter homes is very essential to help them to return to a meaningful life in future. Often the staff of instiutions run by the government, who are solely responsible to take care of women, are not able to provide such care because of the large number of women in most of the institutions and the lack of adequate staff in providing care for the women. Moreover, they do not have the capacity or necessary inputs to understand the psycho-social needs and concerns of women. This adds to the woes of women in vulnerable situations and affects their overall development.”
US Department of Health and Human Services. (2012). Services Available to Victims of Human Trafficking: A Resource Guide for Social Service Providers. 32 p. “Social services providers play an important role in helping victims of human trafficking restore their lives. The needs of trafficking victims tend to be complex, often involving interactions with multi-jurisdictional law enforcement personnel, lawyers, and an array of benefit providers. Also, service providers must consider the varying levels of trauma the victim has endured and the victim’s cultural background when addressing his or her needs. This booklet can guide service providers in helping their clients access services. It briefly describes the many community and State-funded resources available for victims. In addition, it outlines the types of Federal benefits and services available to trafficking victims in various immigration categories.”

The portrayed survivors, among others, were supported by Sanlaap and a network of community based organisations in PAQCA project.
