Dear Annalisa,
Is the study currently underway or already completed? It sounds like it is being planned, right?
I agree that more studies are needed, and not only for the purpose of understanding the scope of trafficking, but also for better strategies.
Have you done a literature review of trafficking in SEE? In fact, I happen to know that SEE is one of the most studied regions in terms of the trafficking trends, thanks to the OSCE's earlier Stability Pact Task Force on Trafficking in Human Beings and its current Anti-Trafficking Assistance Unit. Recently, the UNICEF and OSCE also jointly issued a study on traffcking in SEE-2004. It's available at http://www.unicef.org/ceecis/media_1566.html
In your view, what is lacking amongst all the studies and reports? I believe if you could identify a few key areas for further research, it would be a very interesting project.
