as “a process through which an individual can develop her/his ability to stand independently, make her/his own decisions and show control over her/his life. It implies the involvement and active participation of trafficked persons, as opposed to treating them as passive victims.”335 In this vein, the group recommends that individually tailored assistance plans be developed with the victim and revised throughout the implementation process to ensure the plan’s ongoing relevance to the victim’s needs.336 The ultimate aim of the re-integration process following a trafficked person’s return should be her/his full access to fundamental rights and to the opportunities and resources necessary to participate in economic and social life, including being able to secure a standard of living that is considered acceptable in the society in which they live.337 In contrast to cases involving children, there is no standard requiring states to try to find durable solutions for adult victims of trafficking. While the return of an adult victim of trafficking should, ideally, also represent a durable solution, more often than not it merely involves the removal of a person with no legal grounds to remain on the territory of the destination country. This often means that, once returned, adult victims end up being re-trafficked. When seeking durable solutions, states can draw on good practices in the sphere of internally displaced persons.338 Of particular relevance are the criteria used to determine when a durable solution has been achieved, namely: safety and security; an adequate standard of living; access to livelihoods; restoration of housing/land/property; access to documentation; family reunification; participation in public affairs; and access to effective remedies and justice.339 An additional criterion that encompasses all of the above is the principle of non-discrimination – that persons are not discriminated against either as a result of their displacement or on any other grounds.340 335  The Group of Experts further notes that the active participation of the victim in the planning and implementation of her or his reintegration is critical to ensuring that the programme is both victim-centred and viable (see Report of the EU Group of Experts, “Explanatory Paper 13: Return and social inclusion”, p. 197). 336  ICMPD TRM Guidelines, p. 69. Such a plan may include accommodation, social and psychological counselling, legal counselling and assistance, medical assistance, social and health services, language training, educational activities, vocational training, employment counselling, job placement assistance, income-generating programmes, family/community-reintegration measures, family mediation, recreational activities, financial assistance and case monitoring and evaluation. 337  ICMPD TRM Guidelines, p. 68. 338  See, for example, “Promotion and protection of all human rights, civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, including the right to development”, Report of the Representative of the Secretary-General on the human rights of internally displaced persons, Walter Kalin.
