In 2022, a significant share of victims of human trafficking registered by CoMensha were over 18 years of age. Around 70 people who were registered as 'possible' victims of trafficking in 2022 were less than 18 years old.
Number of newly registered victims of human trafficking in the Netherlands in 2022, by age
* CoMensha (the National Coordination Centre against Human Trafficking) provides information about the extent and nature of human trafficking in the Netherlands through registration of (potential) victims of trafficking. In addition, CoMensha provides policy advice and training and runs a national helpdesk.
The source adds the following notes:
The age of a victim at registration often, but not always, lies close to the age they were when the exploitation began. In some cases the age at registration can be months or years apart from the start of the exploitation.
CoMensha provides an insight into the nature and extent of human trafficking and registers possible victims of human trafficking. The reason the term 'possible' victims is used is that in a chain approach there is no definitive set of criteria that a person must fulfill in order to be a 'real' victim of trafficking.
The figures concern the newly registered possible victims of human trafficking.
