This small-scale, qualitative research based on a focus group of rehabilitated trafficking victims in the Ukraine, an expert interview there and an expert interview in Thailand generated information that helps corroborate the current literature on how to prevent trafficking and re-trafficking.

The United States Department of State (U.S. Dept. of State) produces a Trafficking in Persons Report on a yearly basis and puts countries around the world in four categories depending on a government’s compliance with the Trafficking Victims Protection Act’s (TVPA's) minimum requirements; in 2010, Thailand fell from Tier 2 (U.S. Dept. of State, 2009) to Tier 2 Watch List, just one tier above the lowest, for not fully complying with the TVPA's minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking (U.S. Dept. of State, 2010).
