trafficking.
Non-governmental sources: The report
issued by the inter-ministerial working
group for combating human trafficking in
June 2010, specifies the steps undertaken to
implement the government‘s plan of action
for the period of 2007-2010. The types of
support provided to victims include, inter
alia, services such as medical, psychological
and dental treatment, legal and social
services.
Government: General awareness raising
campaign is planned to take place in the end
of 2010 and early 2011 to enhance the
knowledge on trafficking among the general
public. Through workshops, seminars and
public debate settings, the campaign also
aims at reaching professionals working with
trafficking or in some way interacting with
victims of trafficking. Furthermore, victims
of trafficking from both EU-countries and
non EU-countries shall have targeted
information about their rights and the
possibilities for assistance available to them
in Denmark.
According to the evaluation carried out
among 1004 persons following the public
awareness raising campaign in 2006, 1/3
answered that they had fairly good
knowledge about trafficking, 1/3 responded
that they had bad knowledge of the topic,
and 1/3 indicated that they had neither a bad
nor good knowledge of the topic. A new
survey carried out in 2009 among 1261
persons showed that 82% had heard about
trafficking in women, 22% had heard about
trafficking in children to Denmark, 9% had
heard about trafficking in men to Denmark,
15% had never heard about the topic, and
