The aim of this European implementation assessment is to gather evidence on the progress and challenges that occur in the implementation of the directive in the Member States, with a double focus: the migratory context and gender issues.

Directive 2011/36/EU (Anti-Trafficking Directive) is the benchmark legislation on the fight against human trafficking at European level.

Trafficking in human beings (THB) is a criminal activity that affects people's fundamental rights and dignity.

The assessment covers five evaluation tasks: the general situation of trafficking in human beings in the EU; prevention of trafficking; efficiency of the criminal systems; protection of victims of trafficking; and cooperation between Member States and EU support. It also aims at contributing to a better understanding of the phenomenon and to a clearer and more inclusive picture of what has been done, what is working and what action is still needed in the fight against THB.
