This paper presents results of the SAP-FL research program on Europe that was initiated in 2002. It covered ten source, transit and destination countries of Eastern and Western Europe. It is the result of a collective effort involving researchers and NGOs in each country who contributed greatly to this work. Their dedication as well as the readiness of many migrant workers and professionals to participate in interviews made this unique research possible. Some of this research was already presented in the 2005 ILO Global Report: A global alliance against forced labor. The report contributed to global awareness raising of the modern forms of forced labor and the labor dimensions of human trafficking. Since then, research studies have been completed while some new work is under way. We believe, however, that it is a good moment to present a synthesis of this research to a wider public.( Description from Source)
