presumed victim
A person who is presumed to be a victim of trafficking but who has not been formally identified by the relevant authorities or has declined to be formally or legally identified (also referred to as “presumed trafficked person”). Presumed victims are entitled to the same treatment as the identified victims from the beginning of the identification process. In some countries, this category of persons is referred to as “potential victim”; however, in this document, potential victim has a different meaning. Please see definition above. Each country in the region has different terminology for trafficked persons, particularly those considered ‘at- risk’ of trafficking and those considered to be trafficked but not formally identified as such by authorities. In addition, different organisations also often employ different terms for these categories. In the context of this study, we use the terminologies of ‘potential victim’ and ‘presumed victim’ as outlined in the definitions above and not in conformity with any one country’s or organisation’s terminology.
