Vulnerable Spaces for Andean Migrants
in the European Union
Chapter V
Cases and Characteristics of Human
Trafficking Victims from Peru and the
Andean Region in the European Union
Entities in Contact with
Trafficking Victims in Receptor
Countries
Taking into account the current
situation of irregular migrants from Peru
and the Andean region in the European
Union, who are consequently vulnerable
to trafficking, this study attempts to
identify the victims beginning with their
surroundings in order to trace routes and
establish characteristics of the trafficking
of Peruvians and persons from Andean
countries in the EU.
Figure 12 shows information obtained
from the Spanish NGO, Association for
the Prevention, Reinsertion and
Assistance for Female Prostitutes
(APRAMP, initials in Spanish) that
demonstrates the characteristics of
trafficking victims from South America
who are exploited in Spain. 61
The information offered by APRAMP is
very useful as it provides specific cases
that serve to confirm statements made in
previous chapters. Taking into account
the many obstacles that stand in the way
of obtaining quantitative and qualitative
information about the victims or
organizations that work with them, the
authors opted for a three-pronged strategy
in order to obtain more information.
First, they contacted European entities
that work directly with trafficking victims,
including civil society organizations in
receptor countries as well as government
offices that provide social services.
Second, the authors contacted the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs to request
information from Peruvian consulates in
the EU. Finally, they contacted Peruvian
and Andean associations in the EU.
