Das vorliegende Policy Paper zeigt die Erfahrungen der spezialisierten Fachberatungsstellen für Betroffene von Menschenhandel - die im Bundesweiten Koordinierungskreis gegen Menschenhandel vernetzt sind - im Kontext von Flucht auf und schildert die aktuelle Situation in Deutschland aus Sicht der Fa...chberatungsstellen.
