The issue of trafficking in persons for the removal of organs 2013, para. 52
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- For example, it is well established that failure to swiftly and accurately identify victims of trafficking effectively denies those persons the rights to which they are entitled. Victims of trafficking in persons for the removal of organs are almost never identified. As understanding of trafficking in persons for the removal of organs improves, the reasons why are becoming clear. Such trafficking is a highly clandestine activity with little opportunity for public exposure. Victims may not perceive themselves as such, in particular if they have broken laws by engaging in an agreement to sell an organ. They often fear stigmatization and will hide the fact of their surgery, even from close family members. A further challenge to identification lies in the fact that, unlike other forms of trafficking, trafficking in persons for the removal of organs is essentially a one-off event that can often be completed within a very brief period, reducing the opportunity for detection.
