The main objectives of the project are to obtain new knowledge within the field of return and reintegration of victims of trafficking, to help counter re-trafficking and to contribute theoretically to our understanding of humanitarian aid and global marginalities. Migrants returning from exploitative conditions often face countless difficulties, in particular lack of employment, undiscovered HIV, stigma and re-trafficking. The project is anthropological in scope and focuses on the return and reintegration of female victims of trafficking (primarily sex workers returning from Northern European countries) and explores return and reintegration as perceived and practiced by the migrants themselves, migrant households and international organizations.
Sine Plambech has received grants from the Danish Social Science Research Council. During her Ph.D. project, Sine will be based within the Migration Unit at DIIS and will be enrolled as a Ph.D. Candidate at Columbia University in New York. The thesis is to be completed in 2013 and is preliminary supervised by professor Elizabeth Bernstein, New York.
