consequence of their situation as trafficked persons. Re-entry bans may also violate the prohibition on discrimination in relation to both their intention and effect. Reintegration measures that address the risk of re-victimization, including re-trafficking, are a critical aspect of safe return. Plans for reintegration and social inclusion should, therefore, be based on a thorough evaluation, in consultation with the victim, of her or his individual needs, as well as on a pre-departure risk assessment. Particular focus should be given to the family and community environment to which the victim is returning. Trafficked persons who are provided with appropriate post-return assistance aimed at promoting their well-being and supporting their effective reintegration are much less likely to be re-trafficked. They may also, depending on the nature and quality of support provided, be less vulnerable to intimidation, retaliation, social isolation and stigmatization. 28 Part 1: Guiding Principles of Return
